Today, I spent most of my time studying for my Black Belt exam tomorrow. I went to the Black Belt class at the Lake Norman school. We did some rolls and falls, and we worked on some poomsaes and self defense. After class, I did the pullup portion of my physical exam. I couldn't do an actual pullup, but I was able to hang on for eight seconds which is five seconds more that I did for my pretest. Tomorrow is my physical test and exam so I am a little nervous.
