1/3/26 The start.

 

Hi to everyone today!! My name is Nathan Norris and this is the first day of the cycle, as I am now going for 3rd Dan.. This morning we had a class and went over a lot of self-defense Curriculum such as Bo Cho Don specials, 1st Dan specials, etc. with Master Evins. Thankfully I got to learn a bit of 2nd Dan specials too as I definitely needed help on those. After that I headed over to North lake recreational center to play basketball and work on my pull up strength. Then of course I had to watch the panthers game, as it was crucial for them to win, but… they end up choking as always. They still have a shot to get in the playoffs though. That’s all that I did today, and I wish everyone luck on this cycle.
