Orange Belt !!.

I took my belt test last Thursday, if you don't know what a belt test is I will gladly explain:).

A belt test in karate is a test to see if your ready for your next belt.My teacher does a belt test about every 3 months depending on when you start.In the belt test you are required to do certain kicks,punches,movements,self defense moves and kickboxing patterns.The difficulty of the test depends on your current belt status, the higher rank you are the more you should know and be able to do. And that is basically what a belt test is.

Now here is how the belt colors go from lowest to highest;

White (I was here)
Gold
Orange (Now I am here=)
Green
Blue
Purple
Red
Brown
Brown with black stripe
Black. (I will be here someday but not overnight)

Now usually you advance one belt rank every 3 months if you pass the test but I guess Johny(My Teacher) thought I was a little more advanced and plus I had been coming to class 1 extra day a week.But I was really happy and I hope to get to a black belt and maybe more=).
I also talked to Johny and asked if he would teach me in private some other things and he said yes.

I just don't see the point in doing things half way and quitting (Unless God Says).I think if your going to put time and effort into something you should give 100% Just like you do at work.Anything I put my hands to I want to do to the best of my ability even if I know I am not going to do it all my life.

Well I better get to bed God Bless and talk to you ASAP.
