I took another karate test today. I injured my leg while warming up...wonderful. I'm already the suckiest green belt in the do jang and I go and injure myself before the testing even begins!

At the end of testing, Sa Bum Nim said everyone did a good job. He must not have been watching me. I screwed up two of the easiest parts of my form. I didn't do the kicks right because I was afraid I'd kick the green belts on either side of me in the kidney's. And then I screwed up the order of two sets of punches...beautiful.

At least I made it through the test without completely pulling my left thigh muscle. I' m sure everyone sitting near me appreciated the half-jar of Tiger Balm I spread on my leg as much as I did.

Oh well, since Sa Bum Nim told us as a group we did well and he didn't pull me aside to tell me he's ashamed to call me his student, I'm hoping I passed my test.
