Written by Avi, Gail, and I have officially completed the first week of our black belt test! I have been training in Isshinryu karate for roughly 5 years now and I am so excited to be starting this journey. I was 12 years old when I started training in karate and ever since then I have been dreaming of getting my black belt. I am so grateful for the opportunity to take this test with my friends and not have to go through this alone.
Week one has started off very well and I have kept up on all my numbers. One thing I wasn’t expecting is how exhausted and sore I would be. Having school, karate, numbers to get in, and other extracurriculars, I have ended my days feeling very drained. I am hoping that once school is out for summer break, I will have a little more energy and that I can get ahead on numbers. Although I’ve been sore, I have really enjoyed this first week and I am very excited to continue for the next 13 months.
