Orange, First Stripe

Its been a while since I earned my Orange belt in Jiu Jitsu, but with the new classes and being busy due to doctor's appointments I haven't had the time to concetrate on my new material. So it was well overdue last night when I did my stripe test and earned my first stripe.


It went okay. I knew the idea of the techniques but was missing a lot of little details. But hey, that's what the stripe tests are for: review and make sure we get the full story one on one.


The test was scheduled for 8 but I get taken in early and after the stripe test I participated in a killer of a class. I was so tired my legs felt weak and I haven't felt like that since I started in March. Yowsers. It felt good to be moving again though, and I hope to get going to three classes a week again now that stuff is quieting down.
