Woo Hoo! I have been semi-dreading this day for a month now, and when I woke up this morning with sinus congestion so bad it felt like I had 2 cement blocks on my face, I almost flaked and didn't go. But I decided that even if I failed, I'd have the experience under my belt for the next go round. But I made it! I didn't do well on my weapons self defense, but other than that I got high marks. So now I'm home glowing with satisfaction and have ice on my shoulder (healing from a dislocation), with a brand spankin' new brown belt in my gear bag! YeeHaw!

I gota ask.. you still sore from testing?? I was sore for at least a week as I remember.. the spirit training part was just plain rugged!

Today is the first day that I climbed out of bed without hobbling due to my sore legs. I'm actually still tight, but it's not too bad now. I had physical therapy yesterday, though, and my therapist really helped me relax my muscles (and worked on my sinuses, too - what a blessing!).

cool. ya it seemed like I was at least a little sore for a long time after I tested. little stiffness and soreness that just took a while to go away. but I think it was about 2 months till I looked at that belt and it felt like it was really mine. brown is a really big step up in rank and in responsibility.

... Ehh I would reather say "once again congradulations, and you have yet to make dan rank. but remember that once you do make Dan rank, all you do is start over again." ( well at least in the system I train in you have all the kata in the system for empty hand and several weapons kata by the time you are asked to test for shodan-ho.)
