So, tonight was a very special night for two reasons:
1. Presentation of our Karate belts to the next level. ^_^
2. Our sensei is moving away.... ._.;;
So, it was both a happy and sad moment for us. I cried, oh hell did I cry. I was suppose to present her a present from the team, but man my throat got choked up and I couldn't say anything! >.< She was really leaving! I mean, sure I'm moving away too, but it's just not the same! I mean, the kids here need her to teach and it just won't be the same without her! I really strongly believe that. I know that she needs to move and such... but still. A lot of people are gonna miss her. Hopefully, I'll be able to see her when I go down to Montreal...
On a lighter note though, I am now a 1st kyu Brown Belt. So now... I shall be working for my black! I really gotta get serious! After all, our Shinan will be there! Unfortunately, I won't be able to restart my Karate until after the summer holidays, when I get moved in and such in the rez. But that doesn't mean I won't be practicing! Plus, me and my partner (which, oddly enough is moving this year too... and we're going to be in the same dojo again! There's no splitting us up. o.o; ) were given wooden Tanto's to start practicing Tanto jistu (defence against daggers/knives) This is so awesome! I could never make one myself and there's no shop here that sells them, so I'm really happy with it. **Twirls it around in her hand**
Still... I feel a void in deep knowing that our sensei is leaving and I feel even worse about knowing that my original team may not be coming down for the competion in Fall! Ugh!
