Last night was black belt class at the main school, which happens on the first friday of each month.  It's one of the opportunities for me to learn from Grandmaster Kim, and it's usually a very good experience.  We spent about 15 minutes of warm ups doing kicking drills, then advanced 20 basics, then we spent about half an hour doing impact drills, which is when we practice getting punched in the stomach and kicked in the sides. Fun time.  So I'm still sore from that.  My sparring partner during the class had lots of good advice too, and I felt like learned a lot.
In other news, I'm confirmed to lead class on Monday, so I'm going to think ahead about what I want to do for the class, and then also for second class because I've never had to lead that.  Mondays are usually small though so its okay and I should definitely be able to handle.  Its nice to feel like I'm taking a real leadership role in the school.
Since this is my last week before my test, I plan to attend class 2 or 3 times (maybe not a full class because it doesn't fit in my schedule, but after is a good idea).  What still worries me is the brick, that's the biggest hill to climb for me so far. Still going to blog about that soon!
