<\/a>So after two years I finally tested for my green belt. It probably didn’t hurt that somehow Sensai’s polite suggestion of “You should be at the test this saturday” had apparently become “Be at the test this saturday – or else”.\u00a0 Ok. I added the “or else” part but I think it was fairly implicit from his tone and the look. So, yeah, I made sure I was at the test. Apparently Mr Moran was walking arround taking pictures, and posted them online. Nice of him – but it was weird – he must have been invisible for most of the test becuase I hardly noticed he was there at all. Then again – I guess that is a requirement for a good photographer.<\/p>\n
