Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick update on things. Yesterday I had my Yellow best test for Krav Maga. It was tough and long and the two hour drive to the testing facility didn't help.
So first off, there was 26 people taking the test. That was more then me and my partner expected. Apparently the last yellow belt test only had 8 people. It was a little cramped in the room, but I tangent away.
A 2 o'clock the test review for the group started, and that lasted longer then planned. That took 80 minutes to complete and then with no break we started the test.
The only time we could get water is if we quickly got it while the instructor talked or when the few short break we were allowed were given. All 2 minutes worth of the break.
The drills were meant to wear your strength or energy down while making to maintain I high level of stress and aggression. Nearing the end during one drill where you lay fly on your stomach with hands out with a few people putting some wight on top of you to make you fight to get up, the instructor jumps on top as well and makes me work harder to get up before grabbing my ankle as I run to the next part of the drill.
I just hear "Don't worry its his entire 250 lbs on you." As he had all his weight on me.
At the end they did some hazing with passing weights back and forth down a line while in a push-up position before standing with your arms straight out as they went around handing those same weights for you to hold.
In the end the test finished at 6:45 that night and I did not get back home to my parents till 10:30. I was in no mood to drive the 30-40 minutes to my house so I just crashed there after thanking my dad for driving us there and back.
So I technically won't know if I passed till end of Tuesday at the latest, but the one instructor talked to me and my partner Katie. He said we passed. Overall we had a few moments but we pretty much were smooth through the entire test which was great to hear.
Well everyone have great day and I am getting back to work and being sore as I do it.
Later!
