Ok so I passed, which is very cool and as I strolled into work early this morning noticed an added swagger to mt step. I now go up into the advance class and get the new found joys of finding interesting new ways to hurt people :) This includes the questionably enjoyable circle of death defences against multiple opponents and running the gauntlet between the entire class as they try and hit you. And I wanted to this because...? :)
However, stepping aside from the machismo for one moment, I did almost die last night. It was f*ckin intense and for some parts we each had to grade individually rather than all at the same time as usual and we had four people watching us from four angles. The sweat was pouring out of me and at the point I got told that I had passed my adrenalin just bottomed out, my legs starting shaking and I almost passed out. Normally Seefu Chan then went through what each indivual had to improve upon and all the while I'm hoping that I can hold on long enough not to collapse on the floor and loose total control of my legs.
This morning I feel mentally and physically drained but there's a weary grin on my face and I nice warm feeling inside, which isn't just the coffee
It's good to be back on top again
