In good news, I did pass my Kung Fu test!
Bird form felt good, Tiger felt good, Reversibly Facing Four Opponents felt good, screwed up one nunchaku swing, some of my one-steps were a bit shaky until I remembered what I was supposed to do, sparring was weird (sparred a married couple), chin nas felt good ... Felt better overall than my last test. Woo!

Enh, bashed my fingers a little, but nothing requiring an ice pack. Technique 11 scares me, cuz all you do is hit yourself all over your body ... on purpose. Crazy weapon.
And thanks!

i randomly got to your site googling 'outside-smash kick' and thought i'd say congrats. i'm testing to green next month :)
(i'm only guessing you're also taking shaolin-do, since i'm in the middle of great bird form and nunchaku spins and a whole mess of lo-hans!)

Hey, Joshua.
I go to a Chinese Shao-lin Center school, which I believe is a different branch of the same system as Shaolin-Do, with almost the exact same curriculum. I totally biffed the staff form during my test. It was more like stir-and-poke form, very pathetic.
Good luck on your test!

Dood! You never said there's a trip scheduled. You going? You should totally go. C'mon, you, the RRRUUUUSSSHHHH!!!! fan, not going to Tai Shan? You gotta go!

Oooooh, it's tempting. But I think it's, like, $4000 or something. I wasn't really thinking about it when I first started at this school, but now that I've been here a few months ...

Oh, and kudos for the Rush reference, of course!
