mamadebI am now an ORANGE BELT!
We had a make up class today, and Master Brian took advantage of that to have an belt ceremony for those of us with stripes on our belt. It meant that Rikki and I, the two religious married ladies present, had to wear head coverings plus skirts over our uniform pants, but who cares? I'm an ORANGE belt! And since I got it at the beginning of the class (we could take off the hats and skirts when he left), I had the entire class as an orange belt!
Orange belt is pressure points, so I can now cause actual pain.

The little smiley after that statement is... unnerving.
I'd say you were enjoying this too much, except that I think you're actually enjoying it just right. :>
Congratulations!!!!

Date: 2003-10-24 05:29 pm (UTC)Although I am a lowly white belt in aikido yet, I was there when the sensei showed us a couple of pressure points on the forearms in the intermediate class, though we're told not to rely on them.
The one just about the elbow... is that the nerve that can be flipped over the bone? My sister and I used to pinch each other there as kids to mutual annoyance. :-> (Discovered by accident hitting one's elbows against things, probably.)
Again: congratulations, and keep kicking ass! :-)

It's a place I learned in my self-defense course as a place to hit if the assailant grabs you by your wrist - hammer-fist him to that pressure point, a nd it's likely that he'll be forced to let go.)
Congratulations!

All I ever got to was yellow + green stripes. Can't remember any of it either. ;)
Wonder if I still got those pictures around here...
