Part two....

Not as bad as I thought. :)

First we started with bo staff- and I honestly never know what I'm doing when it comes to bo staff... I always feel bad for the people that teach me because it has to be frustrating.
Anyways- I'm seriously glad that Jacob decided to test this time cuz if he didn't I definitely would have failed. (not that i didn't.... but it would have been definite) It's not cuz I don't know it, I just don't know what everythings called so usually as soon as I see the first move I know what I'm supposed to do...

Then it was sparring....
oh. my. gosh.

That was crazy... there were five rounds, and three of them I sparred one person, the fourth round I spared two people and the fifth I sparred three people. Ughh- I was trying to pace myself so I didn't do lots on the first three round... I know realize that was basically the stupidest logic in the world...

The one on ones were the easiest and the ones I should've been... idk... impressivish on? Because by the time I got to the fourth round I was really tired and on the fifth round I really thought I was gonna faint.

It's kinda pathetic, we have it on tape. I'm just randomly throwing my leg up in the general direction of someone somewhere and their all beating on me... and then catching me from falling over... and then beating on me again xD
I fall a lot in sparring....
Haha there's this one time where I'm about to fall over- I was seriously dizzy then- and nathans like- it's ok, keep going, keep going, and he's balancing me... so I tried to kick him??

It's funny cuz it felt like I was going crazy at the time and throwing moves constantly, but on the video I'm basically taking everything... :/

I kinda wish I could do this whole testing over... I feel like I've messed up on everything in one way or another. I know if I did it again I could get a better score... but right now I really don't care if its the absolute minimum score possible... I just want my black belt.

Oh, and there was board breaks too. Those were fine, they were fun actually. :)
The one thing I was really worried about was the sidekick on two boards... and that was incredibly easy. The butterfly was also really easy- and probably my favorite. Which is funny cuz I hated it up till today.

Umm everything else was pretty easy.... I messed up on hammerfist the first try. Idk what I did, I think maybe I came down to close to the edge...? Possibly? The second time I broke it, but more with my arm. I got an impressive looking scratch on my hand now, and it was swelling for awhile xD
It didn't hurt though.

So yeah... testing is over... and I messed up really bad on it... but we'll see...
This is gonna be a really long weekend- lol.
