I got my purple belt!

Congrats, Rachel! I'm impressed, I don't think I could pull off 200 pushups unless I did them as 40 sets of 5 (and even then I'm not so sure!). I hope you had to do some kempo stuff too.

Oh we did pinions and combinations and sho lung,etc. It wasn't all pushups and situps.the whole test took about 2 hours.

 

[rachel]

believe me, i had no idea I could do 200 pushups.We did them as 20 pushups 20 situps.19 pushups then 19 situps and so on. I was like ok this is either gonna make or break me and break me is NOT an option. I just wanted that belt so bad and thinking of Bruce Lee and that he wouldn't give up and would push to the limit....I've been reading Zen in the martial arts and he's mentioned alot so that book actually helped me alot for the test. Whoever recommended it to me as good reading I thank you.:asian:

thanks, everybody. I feel like the queen of pain right now. My arms don't hurt like I thought they would but tomorrow is another day. What keeps you all going during enduring tests like that? What do you think about?

What would keep me going? The fact that I would be so pumped up that I did not show up to fail, or lose!:asian:

NO, I'm sore at him right now, cause he said, I was "involved" with you? I'm fixing to put the hurt to that Butter Knife!

Eh, I don't think anyone wants to look like me. I'm just an average goof. Did you look at the thread under this one yet?:EG:

Haa, now I know your wrong. Women don't like me for some reason. I was lucky that I found one who did.
