161 boxes to check. The Jiu-Jitsu White Belt card can be intimidating for new people.
69 boxes there, 80 there, and 12 over here.
Some nights get you one check, and some get you two.
That's a lot of training nights in any case.
I've counted them, and kept track of them, and predicted them.
Couple of weeks ago I finished one category. Last night I finished another. I have once column left with boxes in it to get checked off.
I have just five boxes left. By bedtime, it will be only four.
It will soon be done and retired.
If I pass my exam into the advanced class I will receive a new card.
It has even more boxes on it than the first one.
Oh, well.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
