KILLER!!! LOL Master Todd taught of course... so what can I say? Kenny and Justin and Chris and I were hanging out before class... just talking about school and looking at the old pics in the office window... Kenny said that when I test for my black belt, he and Master Todd and Master Romel will be sparring me... haha... I'm... sorta... looking forward to that. Anyway, there were 10 of us; Amy, Kenny, Doc, Tommy, Katie, dad, Justin, Chris, Paul, and me. Kenny collected the cards, and he went right past me without looking at me, then he came back when he'd gotten Chris' card and said, "Hey! Stop fooling around!" just teasing of course. Todd gave us a quick stretch, and told us that since we were doing forms, he was gonna make us sweat first. So he made us do 125 jumpingjacks, 12 laps, 30 pushups, and 50 crunches!!!! ARGH! DEAD! Anywayyy.... he sent us back to work on our forms, and I worked Sa Dan and Oh Dan. Dad came around to help us color belts; the black belts worked Chil Sung Sam Ro Hyung. Justin was working on Nai Han Chi Cho Dan, and he was right next to me, pretending that he ws going ot hit me... After that, Todd told us we could work weapons. The black belts(save Kenny) worked Do Sa; Kenny worked the third staff form. Paul and I worked our kama forms. Since Justin and Chris were never in BBC, they continued their forms. Todd was testing Chris on his Bassai forms... You gotta know them for black belt test, Chris! Kenny helped me with my staff form, and he asked me to help him with the kama form; he'd forgotten it. That was fun; he used escrimas, and made all these sound effects during it... Todd was watching Justin's form and said that, "You don't need to do it like you're trying to kill someone!" and so I mentioned that Justin had been trying to kill me... Kenny was being my "opponent" while I worked Oh Dan. (I dunno why, but Chris and Justin ended up watching us) We got up to the eye strike, where he said, "Ok, don't really hit me!" Then he had me do Sa Dan. He asked what else I needed help with, so I said my one-steps, but he didn't know the red belt, and so he asked Justin if he knew them, but of course he didn't, as he'd never been taught them in the Junior's class. Same story with Paul of course, so then we got into a discussion about how they shouldn't have stopped teaching the Juniors their one-steps and expect them to do them at testing. Course, they were still teaching them when Kenny was in the Junior class, but they stopped a while back... So we were talking and Todd reminded us to practice. Later, while the black belts were working the dagger form, Todd was showing Kenny, Justin, Chris, and Paul gun defenses.. I watched for a bit before going back to my form. Anyway, I'll see you all tomorrow...
