Jiu Jitsu Update

I mentioned last post how I had my stripe review last Tuesday evening. Well its true, I'm now a Orange Belt 3rd Stripe student and booking my red tip review for next Tuesday evening and Wednesday at lunch. Why the rush for the red tip? Next Wednesday night is Adult Belt Test night and if I can get my red tip in time I'll be allowed to go for my green belt then.

I'm ambivalent. It will be difficult to complete my red tip in two sessions as I have to review with an instructor everything from white to orange and I know I need some work on the orange belt stuff, especially the straight armbar from mount position. That pop and twist just does not freaking compute I tell you! It gets lost between my head and legs. Sigh.

If I don't go to the belt test night I'm sure I can wait until next month as I'm not on any schedule here. My one year anniversary for when I started training is not until next month anyways.
