Blue Tiger Tactical Defense

My blog about the study of martial arts and my journey as a martial arts instructor. I have learned more by teaching than I ever would have as a student.

The next test is coming up

One week from tomorrow.

I always enjoy watching the tests. Seeing how much the students has improved is fun. They put so much effort into the test and so much energy that it is contagious.

When I was a student, the testing board would sit at the front of the class to watch the test. I haven't been able to do that myself. I have to be standing up. I have to be moving around. There is so much energy in the room that it's impossible to sit still. I find myself exhaling for their techniques and tightening my muscles.

I also like to move around to where I will have the best view and I usually pick out one or two techniques to fine tune as well.
