Well, the grading day is approaching quickly! One week from now it will all be over…

I am trying to focus my mind and to overcome my nerves, as I know this is always one of my biggest obstacles. I have been training at our club whenever I have not been needed to teach, I’ve practiced at home and attended extra sessions. I am feeling much more confident about my patterns, line work, sparring and self defence.

I feel I still need to sharpen up my knife defence and my jumping kicks. Most of all though, I need to get my mindset right! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this!
