It is a great kinda sore.

Yesterday I attended Black Belt class at North Charlotte. It has been a while since I attended one, approximately 6-7 months. (since all this craziness started in my life). I really forgot how much I enjoy being in that atmosphere with those amazing people, the Masters, the instructors and fellow Black Belts. I realized again, just how much I benefit from that and the sparring class. Oh, don't get me wrong, it was not easy, it wasn't meant to be easy. Master Burkart lead a great class and I felt challenged and encouraged at the same time. I am always really self conscience when I am asked to do bear crawls or any exercise that requires my derriere to be up in the air. I feel sorry for the folks who are behind me and I am embarrassed of it. I really enjoyed working with my mentor, Amy Tucker before class. I learned so much from her, Master Randall, Master Burkart and Instructor Dege. We worked on BB one step and reviewed specials. I also really enjoyed working with Mrs. Janet Jolly during class and sparring class. She is amazing. All in all a great day. And yes, I am very sore today, but thankful for it.
