Hi there... Thought I might de-lurk after all and post my first message here...

Because yesterday I took my first grading. I'm here in Cardiff as an exchange student from Germany and am going to leave again in two weeks after having trained with the club here for near six months. Kyu gradings are done usually every six months or so, plus on summerschool; unfortunately I would not have been able to grade undere these circumstances (came too late, went too early...).
However, when someone told our sensei I would be gone shortly, he waited till I had left the changing room to get on the mats and then said to the others present, "Right, let's grade him."
So in the middle of the training we were told to form a line and I was asked to get up, etc and so on.

So now I'm 5th kyu.

And so much to learn...

Yours etc,

Kai
