So I just wanted to start off by saying congratulations to this years black belt candidates. I am sad that I missed seeing the ceremony I heard it was awesome. Second I wanted to say hello to the Snake team.

Things here have just settled down. I had my portfolio submission school on friday at 4:00pm which I got in just in time. It only took a couple all nighters and tons of last minute changes but all in all I am really proud of the finished package the printing looked great and I hand made the book out of birch so it looks really nice but was a lot of work and a bit of a learning experience.

Unfortunately kung fu was a bit of a bare minimum over the last week which is not a great way to start the year and I will be playing some catch-up same with some of my school projects that are coming up due after this week. I did record myself doing my form as a piece for my portfolio. I now understand why it is recommended. Recording yourself allows you to objectively critique your form. Personally I was able to pick up several things that I need to work on in my forms even though I shot it as a silhouette. I can also tell you that soft sand is not the best place to do your forms even if it looks great in video.
