Well, we've almost made it. It is the night before. Seeing as how it is 9:40pm we can only hope that by this time tomorrow night the grading will long be over. We both have this constant nervous feeling that won't go away and I woke up this morning with a pounding headache. Mark has one right now. I know we should be in bed early but we are going to go over the bunkai just one more time tonight.
We've had lots of people wish us luck which was really nice. Everyone says they know that we are going to do well, I only wish we knew that, too. It's just too easy to get up in front of everyone and totally forget what you had planned on doing. We know everything inside out and backwards at this point, I only hope that we are able to demonstrate that. I think my biggest fear is that after all of the preparation we have done for this (and it has been A LOT) that we will still do a terrible job and all of the work will have been for nothing. That would be the worst.

Do mu kyoku translates to "No Limitation for Life" which means that the path of the karate-do student is endless and that there are no limitations to it. This is my endless journey and these are my thoughts as I pursue this powerful and dynamic art.
"The Ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants." Gichin Funakoshi
