Last night we practiced parrying for a while then had to partner up with someone of similar size and play forehead slaps. Due to bad weather hardly anyone was there which meant I got partnered with the Sempai...Needless to say I got my brains scrambled pretty bad. The Sensei got a good laugh out of it. Although I did imoress both of them when we had a grappling session after that and I made a purple belt tap with a wishbone leg lock (I did have a little bit of a size advantage but he won bronze for grappling at the KRMAS nationals so I think it was even).

I'm getting graded again this weekend. Been going for 2 terms and have been graded twice. The Sensei told me last night he was impressed with my determination and commitment.
