It was a bright sunny day today and so I was able to take everything out of my Krav Maga equipment bag to let it air out. I have been carrying around all of my belts from the first day I started training. I suppose that I should get a display board for them to keep them in a special place on my wall in the office.
I had sort of been keeping them all in there until I had earned my black belt. I decided that I should take them out for now and display them. I was going to test for my black belt again this June but decided that I would hold off until the next time it would be available. That should be around December. Placing my belts in the office would be another great motivator towards that goal.
Eva earned her brown belt in Jr. Krav Maga today. Eva has been progressing very well in the art. She does have to work on her aggression during classes. she has no problem banging me around but she’s less aggressive with a partner. I know she has more power to show in each class but she steps back a little. I’m sure that this will change over time as she gains more confidence in her abilities.
now that she is a brown belt she is on a six-month rotation for her belts. Things get much more intense at this level and she’s about a year and a half out from testing for her black belt. She is still very focused in class and loves going. We haven’t been able to coordinate with her usual partner though. Maybe next week. Eva made her a really nice gift.
