C's latest karate Testing.

[crazychicknlady]

Last testing C earned his brown belt. He was surprised, since he figured he'd get another stripe on his red belt before getting the brown. Unlike S's karate, C doesn't know in advance exactly what he is testing for. He knows the next color of belt he could earn, but it is also always a possibility that he will only earn a stripe, and there is no true upper limit to the number of stripes he could get before being deemed ready to move to the next belt. He was very solid in this testing, so I wasn't too surprised he got his brown. C isn't having to learn as many techniques as H did when she went through, since the Sensei can only offer one class these days, and he has a lot of students, many of whom are very new.
