Tests

Tests are strange things. We are all business. It's harder work physically and mentally than regular class, longer with more movement per minute, no horsing around or exploring an issue.

The only talking, generally, is what I do when starting the test, what I do for the belt ceremony, what I do for giving instructions, and what they do when answering my questions about why we do this or how we should do that.

We do a fair amount of body work on each other, but not, as a percentage, as much as regular class. After the test, everyone feels very connected and happy to have survived it. It's a good feeling.

Peace,
