2007 Workout #85: Mini Test…

Tonight was a mini-test night in Pekin. We had three testing candidates, two going for yellow belt and one going for purple belt and they all did an extremely good job.

We had a pretty good basic class beforehand, and prior to class and the crew worked on Kanku Sho. I really like that kata pretty well the more I do it, however it isn’t calling to me as my next kata. I’ve got to figure something out to work on in a dedicated fashion, but I’m going to let it come to me instead of agonizing over which one to work on.

I think I may select some training goals for next year. Maybe a monthly topic to focus on… some may have hard numbers and some may not, but I need something to kick me in the pants and get me back after a goal again. I will never be ready for Sandan without a few intermediate goals.
