Martial Arts Anyone?

[przed]

Tomorrow (Sunday!) is the end of my black belt training cycle, the day I get my black belt.

Our school calls the ceremony the Black Belt Spectacular. All the candidates perform, doing forms and weapons and self defence techniques. And I'll be doing my musical form.

Curious what it looks like? You can watch it, because the school has arranged to have it live streamed here:

https://livestream.com/TDSMM/BBS2016

The performance is Sunday, June 12, 2:30 p.m. EST.

Hope some of you can take a look. At a guess, I think my musical forms is going to be 40 to 60 minutes in, and I'll be doing various other things with my group. And our instructors, demo team, and higher belts are going to be doing some spectacular demos.

If I can work out the time zone difference, I will definitely pop in for a look see!

Congratulations on your black belt, its a huge achievement and I'm sure your musical form will be a hit! :)

The World Clock can help you with the time zone issue.

I've been rocking the musical form in rehearsal. Now I just have to not panic when I have to do it in front of 300 people!

Good grief, its on 3 am my time, I can't make any promises :(

Good luck not getting stage fright!!

They're leaving the video up for a few days. My musical form starts at 1h26m if you want to skip straight to that.

I've had a good look all around that time but I seem to be missing something :( there is a fella doing his routine and then a video about the 140 walk? Is yours before or after the walk vid please?

They seem to have adjusted the timing from last night. I'm now at 1h03m.

Wow it does not seem so long ago when you were considering doing your black belt training and the potential impact the training would have on your time. Huge CONGRATS and best of luck

The impact was huge, but the experience was totally worth it. Thanks for the congrats!

I wouldn't have changed it for the world, but I'll be happy to go back to only doing two classes a week. ;-)

Hey - congrats! I'll be wandering around with some friends, but I'll check in later to see if they post the video.

Congrats again! You should be really, really proud of this accomplishment. ;-)

Congratulations!

I just checked and it looks like it should start in a few minutes! Will try to take a peek.

I saw your performance--you looked fantastic! I am so impressed. The whole show was fun, like a dance routine with jumping, kicking and twirling.

Thank you! I've been saying for years that martial arts is a lot like dance, just with punching and kicking. *g*

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Awesome performance! Your musical form looked great!
My husband and daughter watched to.

Thanks for watching! Of everything I had to do, I was happiest with my musical form. Hope the family enjoyed it.
