Wait....What?

Thursday

Today was the last part of our final for karate which was a two minute sparring session with the upper belts. Before we started with the sparring, sensei pushed us harder than he has ever pushed us before. We did tons of push-ups, ab-killing crunches, and a bunch of squat things and leg workouts. It was absolutely exhausting and I felt like I was about to pass out. We then started with the sparring final, and got called up in three’s. One had to fight a purple belt, one had to fight a brown belt, and one had to fight sensei himself. I was one of the last people to go up and I had to fight sensei. I gave it my all, but sensei was way too boss for me. Before we left, sensei told us it was a pleasure to teach us and said that the people he had chosen to fight him had been chosen before class and that the people he chose, got promoted to blue belt. At first it didn’t click that I was one of those people but after looking at the people who also fought him giving me a thumbs up, it finally hit me, I got a blue belt. So I guess it’s safe to say that I will be taking the rest of the class after spring break.
