After three evenings in a row of fairly intense Aikido practices, being twisted, thrown around and being yelled at by my Sensei (with love of course) I've decided not to test on Saturday. I'd probably pass but I know that I wouldn't do the best I'm capable of. I hadn't planned on testing untill December and although I give it my all when I go to class, I havn't been going as much as I can. I explained to my Sensei that I didn't feel I deserve to test and that when I do I want to know that I've given 100% otherwise I'd feel like a fraud. This is something I believe in, that whether you pass or fail isn't as important as trying your best at everything you do. There will be some things you're good at and some things your not, that's life, and it's not something to get upset about. I think I said the right thing because my Sensei looked very pleased with me and promised that by December I'd look like Bruce Lee. Hi Ya.
