Got 1st kyu grade in aikido!
Yay, I managed to get my 1 kyu grade on Saturday! That's the grade before the black belt. I'm student in Iyasaka Aikido Kobayashi Dojo in Stockholm, and I was dead nervous. I have to remember to drink more water before the grading next time, because I had be uke (get thrown around) for two other guys before it was my turn, and I was pretty tired and my head had started to ache. Dojo rules says you don't drink water during practice, especially not during grading :)
