Well... BBClass... 5:30... wow days are getting so dark now... anyway... Amy, Paco, Matthew, and Todd E. Paula was teaching. They worked forms... gotta work 'em guys, especially you, Todd, you need them for your evaluation! Kids sparring, they did a lot of 2-on-1 3-on-1 type thing... LOL Sam was one of the three against her brother, and Paula told her to, "Get in there, Sam! I'm giving you the opportunity of a lifetime!" hahahahahahahahaha... During BBC, I wasn't lonely; Aaron came up for the 7:00, but he came early, and we hung out until the kids' sparring class, which Paula asked him if he'd like to help out with. We sparred a bit, and haha he got me twice, front kick to the stomach, and punch to the head... hahahahaha that was good. He got me good. LOL. In the kids class... umm... Paco, Matthew, Charley(?), Nicki, Sam, Michael, Timothy, Jennifer, Migi... I can't remember if anyone else was there. Adults' class... Aaron, Todd L., Katie, Megan, Shawna, Justin, Chris... I know there were more, but I totally forget. Paula taught all the classes tonight, and I think there was kickboxing, and Aaron might have stayed for it I think... I haven't seen Master Frank in a while, but I think he's been down in Avoca... I haven't seen Cristhian either... and do you ppl know that Mackenzie quit? Dunno why... Anyway, no class tomorrow through Sunday, so I will see you all next month, or more likely, next year. Good luck at testing! I suppose I'll be taking a break from this blog... so I hope you guys blog for me so that I know what's going on over there... Heyy we need more ppl in this blog!!! More more more!!!

Sa Bom Nim taught. I only did the first class; 7 - John Mike, Kenny, Katie, Megan, Mike, Bob, Oscar, Sherry, Leonard, Lyndon, and me; 8 - Kelly, Sean, Shawna, Christine, Scott, and Rob; I don't know if anyone from the 7:00 stayed for the next one.. Bob warmed us up, then we did circuit twice through. The first time, the holders were Bob, Oscar, Sherry, Leonard, Lydon, and me. 5 of each; right front kicks, left front kicks, right round kicks, left round kicks, right jump front kicks, and left jump front kicks; 5 times around. We switched holders, and the second row went. The second round, same holders together, split up into first and second row; 10 pushups, then the one where one person is lying on the ground and they're holding on to the ankles of someone else, and the person who is standing up pushes their feet back down every the they come up, but their feet cannot touch the ground. So if the person pushing pushes hard, then of course we have to be able to control it. Anyway, after the pushups, 10 pushing straight down, 10 pushing to the right, 10 pushing to the left, then 10 jumpingjacks, and 10 mountain climbers; back and forth counting as one. Again, we switched. The front row had to do it 5 times around, but, I don't know why, but the second group only had to do it 3 times around. And I remember doing it twice, but for some reason I don't remember doing it a third time... when I started doing my pushups, John Mike said, "No, stop... you're done." and I was like, "Wha..?" and Katie said, "Yeah, I saw him three times, adn him three times, and I'm pretty sure I saw you three times..." And Kenny said, "Yeah, Aisa, don't you remember? You came twice, and then the third time, you kicked me?" LOL Sherry said, "Aisa. Are You Insane?!?! We did it three times!" and I suppose she said that partly because if I did it again, the whole group would have to... LOL... but yeah, see, it happened like this. John Mike was counting pushups, Kenny was doing the straight up and down, Katie to the right, Meg to the left, Sa Bom Nim was counting our jumpingjacks, and Mike was counting mountain climbers. Anyway, Kenny wanted me to go faster, because he was counting, and I wasn't keeping up with his counting. So the third time through(I'm still not convinced that I did it three times through) I came up really fast on the third one, and he wasn't expecting it, so it went past his hands and I kicked him in the chest. Not hard at all, mind you... Anyway, so he got back at me, by grabbing my feet on the third to last time, and holding on for a bit, before suddenly pushing them down hard. HAH! It didn't work... so HAH HAH. Anyway... I desperately need to find someone to take over this blog, so if any of you would like to, please contact me....

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...
