Almost There

It's Sunday night and we are just taking a break from going over everything we need for our grading again. We've worked on all of the bunkai again (all 42!), each of our self defense (10), each of our pressure points (10) and all of the terminology. Today I went and bought the wood we need for our board breaking. I imagine it's not too often that the people at Home Building Centre hear a customer say "Give me the crappiest wood you've got, you know, the stuff that will break in two if you look at it sideways."
We taught Saturday morning at 9am and had a great class. It is a refreshing break to focus on what other people need to learn. It gives us a chance to forget about ourselves and the grading. We have such eager students, we love sharing all of the things we've learned over the years.
After class we went over all of our katas. Over and over again. Fast and slow. There are fourteen kata that we need to know. We both had sore legs for the rest of the weekend.
We have one more chance to work with our ukes Monday night. Tuesday night is a rest night for me, Mark is working (by choice - he needs the distraction). Everything has to be a little slower and with less force now, we can't take the chance that we, or our ukes, might get hurt.
And now back to studying...
