With time the details have faded, but now I can read my post and recall everything!<br /><br />I completely agree about the boards. I would never ask anyone to break boards - my knuckle still isn't right almost five months later! I've seen it now at a number of Shodan Gradings and every time someone injures themselves to some degree. Proper training is required and at our Dojo, that simply doesn't happen.Shodanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786560398339041996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821780198341381134.post-59657253200306958822012-04-16T09:36:23.314-07:002012-04-16T09:36:23.314-07:00It's great you were able to recall that much o...It's great you were able to recall that much of the test. A lot of times it can become a big blur :-)<br /><br />I hope your injuries heal up. If you ever find yourself in the position of being a Sensei and conducting tests, don't do breaking unless the students have been trained in it for years.Matthttp://www.ikigaiway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821780198341381134.post-87811149937137168592012-02-29T20:46:21.772-08:002012-02-29T20:46:21.772-08:00Thanks Sue and Felicia - I appreciate your support...Thanks Sue and Felicia - I appreciate your support and kind words now, and over the past few years as I have been blogging about my experiences. It is a great relief to have successfully passed the test - it still hasn't sunk in yet.<br />My hand is slowly on the mend - no fracture thankfully! It is a very colourful array of browns and yellows at the moment, but I look forward to my first class as a Shodan tomorrow night...and I won't be punching anything!Shodanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786560398339041996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821780198341381134.post-19465510335930527602012-02-29T13:22:49.117-08:002012-02-29T13:22:49.117-08:00Congratulations again!
