Aikido

So I took my Nidan test on saturday. It could have gone better. A lot of people tested that day and a lot of people did poorly. So the instructors are asking everyone who tested to be prepared to demonstrate some skills that were asked for again.

I don't think I did fantastic on my test.. but I'm really nervous about what they'll be asking me to do again. Probably the tanto stuff.. because that just wasn't as smooth as I'd have liked it. But, honestly, who knows.

I do know that one of the people who tested before me did very poorly. I believe that put the instructors in a bad mood... which could have negatively effected how they saw my test.

I realize this sounds a bit like an excuse. I could have done better. I realize that too.

I'll let everyone know how it goes after tonight.
