We got our black uniforms and our swords today. We were also told we were coming to the wrong class, while we really weren't. The black uniforms are really kind of retarded, or they will be, in a few years. Honestly, those things are gonna fade like crazy once things really get going. I doubt I'll be needing a new uniform for a while, as far as sizing goes, because my body doesn't seem to have any intention to grow very much anytime soon. I mean, if I follow my growth chart, I'll be 5'4. FIVE FREAKING FOUR. And you thought you were short.

And the swords are just wooden ones, moron. They don't trust you enough till third degree for real swords. Mine is bigger than Jaron's - only a little by length, but a fair amount in weight and width. I'm afraid to start swinging that thing around, honestly. It's heavier, and because of that, it will most definitely have a tendency to swing more. Eeek.

On another note, we learned ten basic motions today. I hate having to learn all this new stuff again. Jaron and I seriously haven't learned much anything of real difficulty or 'newness' for a very long time. Like six months, practically. This was because we did our second jr. black test in April or something, and black belt testing was in October. And even the stuff we learned was really just review and nothing too complicated anyways.

Now there's lots of stupid palm blocks and weird motions with funny names that, of course, I'm expected to know but have never been taught. It's really annoying, honestly.

Also, Pete says my roundhouse kick is like a golf swing. It's hard to explain, but that's what he says. He's probably right, too.
