White Belt.

Last week I had my first practice with a belt on. I'm a white belt, for starters. I like the idea of being a white belt because I get the chance to earn my next belts. It will show that I have been making progress through this process.

We started practice with only Harry & I. He made sure I put in enough work for me and Antonio. I feel like I'm somewhat getting the form down when it comes to stances and the simple movements, like punches and blocks.

I can actually move smoothly through blocks and punches. It can be way smoother but it's a huge difference from when I was "moving like a robot", as Harry would say. Lol.

I think that the next belt is a blue belt but I can be wrong. I can also be wrong about the fact that I would have to spar at least 3 people before I can get that next belt, if it is blue. But I know that Harry will make sure that I'm ready. I believe he may put me up for the test a little before I believe in myself that I can do it. I know if he does that then it's because he sees the potential in me even if I don't see it in myself. He pushes me but make sure that I'm comforted at the same time, such a mental contridiction.
