The Black belt test

Hey guys Today, June 19 or as I might call it Black belt test day was very hectic and somewhat embrassing. Heres the story for my black belt testing.

We arrived at the studio about 5:30 already anxious and quessy(Butterfiles in stomach). Before the black belt test I was training realy realy hard so it would be perfect. When the judges bowed us in we took our seats on floor. When I was seating looking that I am having a stroke and imagining myself having broken bones because of a board, my parents comforted me about how great I'll do. After a while it was my turn, I did great on my 2 forms that I needed to do and sparing was a breeze..... While I finished my 3 things that I needed to do I realized that my fear was getting closer and closer........... Board Breaks............. Im not afraid of board breaks but their was one specific one that I needed to do (A step-reverse side kick). I did the vertical fist on my first try, But, let me just say I did not break the board with a step-reverse side kick. When my judge noticed that I cant do it (which I could but not at that time) told me to switch my board breaking attack to a jump front kick and I had to break it on my first try. Luckily amd literaly I broke wood(LOL). I was so happy but then I was sad because I did not do the regular board brake that I was supposed to do. When my faimly and my judges went to dinner(young shushi) I kept on asking questions if I passed or Deserved to pass and questions like that.....

Just to let you know My judges will send my scores to headquarters to see if I deserve the black belt, In other words you dont get the belt after you took or pass the any test, it takes time.

So I hope that I passed the black belt test.

(To make my mother proud and me keeping my word for her)

I am not going to post the directions to my youtube account just yet, because I havent goten my black belt test video on there yet. But when I do I will post Directions and how to look for it.
