Yup, survived another one (even though I did try my best to get myself knocked out during the ippon kumite

). I never even got to spar with Mark on our last grading together (after 2nd kyu the gradings are done at our gasshuku)!!!
3rd kyu and above had to do some extra sparring and fight multiple opponents, so Mark really had to work hard for his grade. Earlier in the week it was doubtful he'd be able to make at all (old age, you see

), so well done, Mark!

Nicely done both of you.
After seeing Bikergirl's form when she was only a 6th kyu you're both evidently in a quality organisation. I can see I'm going to have to get my skates on to keep ahead of the field.
Well done peeps!
Mike

Thanks!!
