Saturday is when us White Belts are supposed to do more advanced training. Sadly, the attendance sucks.
I've been to Saturday class 15 times. The most White Belts who have been there has been four. The most common number showing up is 2. I've been there a couple of times when I've been the only White Belt.
I would say that our club has a dozen people who've reached the point where they're allowed to come to Saturday training but have never showed up.
They're crazy. It is by far the best training that we do. It is also mandatory to complete at least 12 of the Saturday classes in order to test for Blue Belt.
The start time is 9am. Maybe this is too early, but everybody either has a job or is a student and clearly could be up and about. They are choosing not to.
They pay their monthly fees, they come two evenings a week, and they train hard. Somehow it's too difficult to do a Saturday morning once in a while.
People mystify me sometimes.
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.
