Upcoming test

[ironphoenix]

Starting next week, I plan to begin training seriously towards my first-kyu (what would be called a "brown belt" in some arts) test in aikido, which will take place (I hope) in September or (if I or my sensei think it wiser) December. This means that I'll be doing at least 3 classes a week, preferably 4 or 5, for the next few months (although some of them will be consecutive classes on the same evening).

Weeknights will thus be hard to catch me on during this period, since I already have 2 weekly commitments, leaving 3 weeknights available for aikido classes. I know that some of you are away or busy during the weekends, so I won't be seeing you as much as I would like; rest assured, it's not a snub!

This test being kind of a big deal, at least to me, and the last aikido test I'll do in Ottawa (dan-rank tests are done at seminars in Montreal or Toronto), I'll likely invite any interested friends to come and watch it when the date is set.

Congratulations on making the decision to pursue that rank. That is a difficult task, but you are up to it in my opinion from what little I have seen of your skills.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

fantastic!

I would love to watch.

I'm sure you'll kick butt, or bricks, or sticks, or whatever is used to do the test.

I'll keep you posted!
