Hacking the Green Belt

Last Sunday, the day of the Chinese New Year, I have passed my green belt exam in HOK KIAN SIAUW LIM Kungfu. This makes me an advanced beginner, ready to learn all the interesting stuff, which is looking so great on TV :).
I still enjoy the training, as it keeps me in shape and I feel much more energy, than before. I was also very impressed about the performance of the brown belt candidate. This looked like he was trying to break stones with every single move of his muscles.
After the exams, which all participants passed bravely, we did a small New Year celebration will lot's of food and watched picture slideshows of our masters and their teachers, training in Jakarta.

After all it was a very nice and succesfull Sunday.

Hacking the Orange Belt

I did it !!
I pwned the orange belt.
But I have to confess, that it has been really tight and there was a lot of goodwill in the game. Thing is, I was so distracted by work related issues, that I would have let me fail myself. But the masters must have seen some potential, so they decided, I would pass the exam.

two weeks to go until the next belt exam

This time for the orange belt. I suddenly realize, that I have been too lazy in regards to my training. If I want to pass the exam, I will need to train a lot within the next two weeks. I hope the belt is longer, this time. The yellow one is hardly long enough for me. (Maybe a sign, that I am getting fat ??)
