Good Sparring Class Tonight!

I woke up early so that I could get in my requirements at the Harrisburg YMCA, which opens at 5:00am.  Then, I came home and did my weekly yard work before it got too hot.  Also, I wanted to be able to rest enough for tonight's sparring class, and I'm glad I did.  We're halfway through the Black Belt Cycle, and even Master Foster told us how happy he was with our progress as a group. We have a bunch of smart kids, and, to me, it's like they went home every Friday night after class, thought about what Master Foster and Master Knight talked about in class, slept on it, then came back the next Friday night and put it into action.  We have a couple of students who are stone-cold killers when they want to be.  I mean, they are FAST!  Honestly, they would never try to intentionally hurt anyone, but they are really good.
