sooo, it's belt test day ,, again. for my first 3 or 4 belt tests, my gut would get all knotty, and i could't eat.. and my heartrate would be all silly n stuff leading in to it....wait..
that hasn't changed.
I
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE me some belt tests!
this is my last belt test with the people i have taken all my belt tests with to this point, and lately ive been feeling really a little bitter-sweet about moving from Norwich to Colchester, mainly only because of the bonds made there over the last almost 2 years... but then, i realize who i am, and i say fuck it let's move on. lol.
ive made some awesome friends over there, and thats not gonna change so ...
but since it IS my last belt test there, i figure i'm gonna go ape shit on this one and leave it all on the mat more than usual.
this muay thai is pretty exhausting, but imma push myself harder than usual, if thats possible, and see where that brings me.
the unexpectedness of Master McShanes belt tests are what makes them what they are...
and ,what that is, is 100% uncut badassery.
almost imPOSSIBLE to really pace yourself, because you never really know whats coming up next. breathing right for that entire hour is key.
and right along with me will be my kids. it all started on my first test as a white belt, and has continued for every belt test since.....
i write their names in thai in sharpie on me like im in high school or some shit.
see my hand up there? thats how it usually is, hidden from everyone, my handwraps would cover it up.... my little secret.
it kinda helps me, i dont know why.
when i turn 40, im getting that stuff right there on my back...
muay thai til i die y'all.
good luck to those taking the test tonite, and congrats to everyone who has taken it yesterday and this morning.
