I know are they ever weird. I had one where a chimp was doing karate and he was pretty good. But then I saw this one and it was perfect. LOL. Have a good night!!! I'm exhausted. I am now officially an insomniac. It took a PHD to figure that out duh??? So I have to schedule an appointment and get a precription.

Saturday I went to watch some people from our "sister dojo" down the road take their belt tests. They take their tests at our dojo. My brother-in-law tested for his highest brown belt (1st kyu.) He did great and passed. So now he has to wait a year, then he can test for his black belt.
It was a terrifying experience, just watching the testing process. I'm going to be petrified when I test in 4 months. You have to go out in the middle of the floor by yourself, and you're facing a panel of about 10 black belts (including the 3 senseis.) Plus the other people waiting to test and any spectators. And you have to do what the head Sensei tells you to do (katas, basic punches, kicks, blocks, self-defense, combinations, and sparring.) I'll be so nervous, I'll probably puke. My brother-in-law did puke last test he took.
I'm doing ok with my karate classes. I'm slowly learning more. But I'm still having trouble with my side kicks and roundhouse kicks. Those are hard. I'm doing a little better with my push-ups, but sure can't do them on my fists yet.
Tonight after the kids left at 8:00, us remaining adults split up and did different things. Some of the guys were getting ready for our dojo's tests this Saturday. But since I'm not testing, I didn't have any of that.
So Sensei Cutie took me aside and helped me with a couple of my katas. What cracked me up was he said, "Carol, I'll take you off to the side and do you."
Exqueeze me? He meant, we'll go to the side and work on your stuff, but the way he said it sounded SO funny! I'm thinking to myself, "Well, ok! Let's do this!!" LOL!! He's sooo nice! I could just squeeze his little cheeks.

And earlier in the night when doing our warm-ups we were doing sit-ups where one person lays their legs over the other person's legs while they do sit-ups. One of the guys didn't have a partner, so another guy said, "You can come back here and do a 3-way with us." WTF?? I about busted up. I'm sure I was the only gutter mind that even thought anything about it. I'm terrible!!

I'm sure you'll do great on your test! You have many months to prepare for it to.

Ok, here are a couple photos from this summer that were just posted on the Yoshukai Alliance page. This first one is my brother-in-law on the left. He takes his karate very seriously (can you tell by his face?) That's Sensei Cutie back behind with the beard next to Sensei Hottie in the all black gi and man-dress. Sidenote about the guy my brother-in-law is with there, Mr. Lowe (we call the blackbelts Mr. or Ms. so-and-so.) Ken was friends with Mr. Lowe when they were in school. And one time they were all in the room that my husband and Ken shared. Mr. Lowe thought it would be funny to throw a pair of underwear on my hubby's head while he was playing video games. 2 mistakes there--don't mess with him when he's playing video games, and the underwear knocked off his glasses, which really pisses him off. So he grabbed Mr. Lowe by the neck and threw him up against the wall. Mr. Lowe remembered this 20 years later. Because of my husband's medications and depression problems, he's forgotten a lot of stuff from his pre-Army days, and this is one of them. He doesn't recall it at all. But I think it's a hilarious story. Hubby has a temper, that's for sure. Then this is Sensei Hottie (in the all black) getting ready to break a board with his head. I think that's Sensei Cutie who's getting ready to whack him with the board. I wanted to be able to post a picture of myself in my gi, but I still don't have one yet! It's taking Sensei Cutie forever to get it ordered. We have a demonstration on Dec. 1st, and I HAVE to have one by then, or I will be so embarrassed. I think I could borrow one my my brother-in-law's if need be. That will be the first time I get to attempt to break a board! Yippee!! I have now learned the first 2 katas (series of pre-arranged fighting movements.) They are 27 Movements and Zenshinkotai. I'm not what I would call good at them, but at least I know them. I just need LOTS of practice. So things are going well. I'm becoming more comfortable with all the guys (well, most of them--one is really annoying, and 3 of the boys irritate the piss out of me--the others are fine.) The two Senseis are so awesome! I really enjoy hanging out with my brother-in-law, because he's so funny (after class, of course, not during.) It's really a lot of fun. But oh so hard. I might've lost a few pounds, but nothing major yet. But boy do I work hard and sweat! Mrs. V (Carol)

Sensei Hottie & Sensei Cutie! TOO DARN FUNNY! But I agree--in the world of Grey's anatomy--if you are a fan they would be McHottie & McCutie! LOL
