Gup Testing 04/03/2010

Jay and I went over, on Saturday, and watched some of our fellow students testing for their next belts.

I personally think it's important to be there and show support for them, on this next step in their journey. To send our chi, so as to speak, from the sidelines to bolster up their strength and energy.

After all, is that not what is at the heart of our Dojang, Team Martial Arts .. 'Together Everybody Achieves More.' ??

Neither of us tested, as Jay felt he wasn't ready and I certainly was not.

Next test is in 3 months, so it gives us something to work hard towards.

My digital camera is a trifle sick, so the images from it, aren't the greatest. I'll have to see what the shots are like from my film cameras, once I get them developed.
