It happened many yrs ago when i was parked in the parkinglot of this one Martial Arts School. God told me that i would be going to that school that i was parked outside of. I remember my reponse to what the Lord had said to me! I responed saying Lord i don't what to do martial arts cause its kinda violative but the next few of days i was praying about & then i responed again to what God told me that one day. Yes lord i will do it whatever you have called me to do I will do & whatever u tell me to go i go & I will follow you! So little did i know that it wasn't all violative & it was all about self-defensive & other things! So of coruse i did my research & found my school & it was the same school that God told me that i will be going to!! SO that is how i came into Kuk Sool Won !!!

After Test Thoughts
After I have gone through what I though was a very hard test but it turned out very different than what I though it would be but there were times when it was a little bit hard thou even tho I did know everything that I was to know in order to pass the test. There were some surprises in the test that I didn’t think I would have to do. But if I just prepared like I did for the test that I just took & passed I will do fine in all the future tests to come!!! Now that I have gone through one! :p
Im really eager to start learning the other 3 forms & the 9 techniques more that what im going to learn tonite in class which is sparring & grappling !
After 3 months I found myself loving the forms of all the different things in Kuk sool won.
Its like once u are in something then u are getting the feel for it & then u start to like something a whole lot & that’s what I have discovering in Kuk Sool Won for me which is forms!!!! I just have to learn & memorize 3 more forms & im good on the form part to test for the yellow belt.

Testing Time!!!
Last nite I have a very weird dream & it had to do with the Kuk Sool Won test!!! I got up at 730hours & I put on some techno music to help me & I went through all my forms & techniques as well as my kicks!!!
So I ate some meat to help me remember all that I have practiced (this helps alot & I can tell ya from experience that it does work!). So of course I was nervous!!! But I was playing it cool. I packed the car & we all left the house almost half way there I asked someone in the car if I had my belt they checked & yes I had it in the car. So as we pulled into the parking lot I saw my Aunt's car & I saw KSN Joe's truck as well.
So we got out and greeted each other & Aunt told me I will do fine & good luck!!! So after talking awhile I went into the martial arts studio or academy. Joe said how are you Ms. Lu I told him I was fine. He also told me another white belt person called him to see if I would be testing & that she was nervous as well ( she & I are kinda friends ) so I said really! then I told him that I had this weird dream that in my weird dream I saw my Ex-fiancé!! KSN Joe said you where engaged? I said yeah just for a short time & he broke it off. Then I when to set up my tripod & put my camcorder on it. So I reviewed my notes for the last time!!! Then it was time to test! SO I started the camcorder to record the testing! yea :) It wasn't as hard as I though it would be but let me say this they throw some curve balls at us! He had use revise the forms & mixed up the forms. Plus we had to do front fall but I didn't do it right but I did the landing right! Also all the white belts go back to the back & do the first technique in a circle said sensei & we all went back there & of course I was nervous so I did the technique in right stance instead of the left so finally it hit me I was doing it in the wrong stance!!! So I told my friend sorry about that I was nervous & she understood! The rest of the test was easy!!! When he called us over & asked us a question about the techniques - what is this technique attack? So I gave my best answer!!! On Friday 19th I studied the Korean words for both techniques & forms & when he asked that question I knew it was techniques & like I said again gave my best answer! & I was right too!! The Sensei had us do the techniques on the mat as he was next to us I on the other had got it all right!!! Then he had us say the student creed (which I knew them all!) So the first guy stood up & didn't know it & the sensei said to me do u know it Ms Lu. I said yes I do so I stood up & recited it! Then he told the other girl to stand up & recite it but she didn't know it. So he told the first guy does u know the second one & he said no & then asked me do I know it & I said yes so I stood up & said it! so we were getting our stripes being put one & I didn't feel right with out saying the last one because it was the requirement to recite the student creed all 3 of them too! not just 2!!! So right after he finished putting them on my friends' belt & I saw him going over to get my stripes I said sir can I recite the last one sir. The Sensei said yes so I did & after I felt like I finished all the requirements that I had to do to pass to get to the next level! SO out of all the white belts that was testing I was the best one prepared!

Day 1 Intill the test!
Well last nite i went a little bit earlier than normal cause i had to practice on this one part of form 3 it was a balance issuse i was having. i got in at least 15 mins of practice time! :) So when it was getting closer to 8:15pm my sensei came over & was helping me out & i was really gald too!!! Then i don't know how he got on the subject about the testing. Then he told me that there was more requirements for the test! its little things but i wish i was more informed about it. But i studied long & hard today & i think i will pass. I know in the major requirements that will cover the test i have that down in a flash!
But we will see how i do!!!

Day 2 Before The Test!
As i went into my class a little bit earlier so that i could have one on one with one of the instructors just to go over all the test requirements & before we got started i as her a question & i was blowin away with the answer she gave me! I was real nervours about remembering all this other things plus reciting the student creed! & here they are going to test me on the 5 kicks! I even asked the main instructor & later found out he was the one that started the school!! So i have one more class before the test which is tonite & friday there is not classes due to the youth & kids testing. So im going to go in earlier than my class so that i can practice one of my forms. Now don't get me wrong here i have them all memorized but im just having a little bit of trouble on the 3rd form. Basically i have to work on the balancing part right after you do a inside kick & hit ur hand then u have to stand still with your knee level & thats the part im kinda having the trouble at! If i can balance & step back i mess up the whole form & MIGHT NOT EVEN PASS because of that!!!!
Im a dancer & a dancer has balance! I should be able to do it!

Testing CountDown!
Ok so i have almost everything packed down & ready for the testing that is coming up on March 20th! But i do have to say this tho im real nervous butterfulies in my stomach & a little bit of anxiety plus some of my family & friends are coming to top it all off! im kinda scared if my mind goes blank & i can't remember any of the techniques when they are going to be mixing them up i pray that they just give me a partner & say here do 1-6 techniques!!! cause i can kinda do them fast like that plus im real comfortable doing them like that too. Since my testing is on Saturday i though that i should get the most practice in as possible so im going mon - thrusday and on friday im gonna rest up for the test!!!! Now there is one thing that im kinda of real nervous about the one part of the test where u have to recite the student creed. I pretty much got that memorized but still kinda very nervous about that part. Now the forms i have those packed down but when i go to class tonite i have one question for my Master. Which i will ask when i go. i have indeed bought a camcorder to record the testing but im not sure so i will ask again when i go to class.If not thats fine i will use it to record the fireworks & other stuff!!!!
Hopefully my textbook is in & i get a chance to review all that im testing on!!! Im gonna have to see if i can get it after class & be in it all day wen. & thrusday & friday at work!!!!
