On Saturday, I will hopefully be promoted to Ikkyu. The highest "student" rank in Karate.
In martial arts, even the instructor is still a student no matter how long you have been there. Just, the instructor has mastered the basics and now can be called a sensei or sifu or master.
Today, we are having one final practice before the Promotion and the tournament that is on Sunday. Why did they make two events in the same weekend???? Why not have the Promotion this weekend and the tournament next weekend? So much stress. Not to mention that I happen to have two sensei's that ALWAYS prepare for a tournament/promotion about five weeks before(9 to 12 classes) . And the last 5 or 6 classes will be totally devoted to the prepartations. I won't be suprised if the black belt canidates do not pass their tests. Not many other schools do that. WHY? Senseis Leo and Jon this is why we never win in the tournaments. We need more practice and stuff...
Oh well. Wish me luck.
