Taking a different kind of gym was a wise choice, yet again I had no clue what I was getting myself into.  It turns out this gym I took was the hardest one I could have chosen.  Well, first of all I am very athletic and lets just say gym is one of my best subjects.  My friend is also in the class so that should make things twice as interesting.  Our "Master" is a little on the weird side because by the end of this course he says, "he will change us for good".  His quote can mean many of which, but I leaning towards the side of getting through to us, through our inner feelings.  If we a hot head type of guy/girl or even the opposite he will "set us straight".  I actually wish my other friend was in the class too because he can really use some dicipline, that would just make my day.  Next week I do not have to go to karate because it is all college day and the week after is a holiday, so I will miss it a lot.  I can't wait until we actually get started with learning tenquines.  Blocking and punching strategies should be fun and exiting to lean.  The teacher sounds like he has many fun activities for us and I am 100% ready to lean them.  Like I said, I am very athletic and this should improve my status much more.  Learning new and exciting things never hurts.  I have to remember to keep my shoes off before I walk on to the floor because it is one of his main rules.  He has many rules, 10 in all.  If we obey his rules and commands we should be fine.  I think I am able to get a 100 in this class but I am not going to speak too soon.  Things are harder than they look which is why you have to take things slow.  Just like he said, "he will teach us in a steeping stone matter, piece by piece".  That is fine with me because I think that is a great stregety to lean by.  Karate is going to be so fun and I cannot wait!
