On Friday, I was on the floor rolling around with my homeboy Yuman. Professor Fred was coaching him. As we rolled around, Professor began to coach me. There was a lot of back and forth, and good effort was being made by both of us. Eventually, Professor Fred had seen enough and he called Yuman over. He had two strips of tape ready and put them on his belt. We all clapped and congratulated him because he’s been putting in the work and we know he deserves it! Yay Yuman!
I wasn’t expecting this, but Professor Fred then called me over to him. He grabbed my belt and put a strip of tape on it. I thanked him and figured that was it, but then he put another strip of tape on my white belt. Just like my buddy Yuman, I got two stripes on this a.m after a very good rolling session. Again, I thanked our professor, I said Osu, and then we continued training.
This was an unexpected surprise, and I was grateful for it. If you guys Just a life long New Yorker sharing the journey through my lens. Please take note of a post’s date. The views I express here are subject to change and evolving as I grow and learn.
