My dojo has proclaimed the date of my Aikido black belt test. I will be testing for Shodan (first degree black belt) on Sunday, October 29, at 1:30 pm.

I am exhausted.
I am exhilarated.
I am fucking scared senseless.

I hope to see you all there. Or at least those of you who are interested in the martial arts. And those who want to see me get my ass kicked. And those who have never seen a black belt test before. And especially those who have no idea of how deep human suffering can be.

Bring a book, because you will be bored at some points. But I do hope to see some of you there.

You know I'll be there for support as long as we're back in town in time.

I shall be thinking of you! I myself will be testing for my cho dan in tae kwon do in December. Black belt tests seem to have one thing in common everywhere: they tend to be grueling, multi-hour ordeals. At the conclusion of my test, I shall have to break a concrete paving brick with my hand. Ouch.
