Before the grading, me and my fellow candidate
Pete, with four of the ukes (Martin, Sarah, Jon, and Dave). |

Doing Happo Giri as Kolesnikov Sensei looks on. I was so sure
my
shoulders weren't coming up! Oh well ... |

This is in the randori at the end of the test. I think I'm
about to
throw someone who appears to exist only as a disembodied elbow. :-)

This is also from the randori. Having dealt with Jon (again),
I'm
about to get sandwiched by Brian and Martin. Eeek!
|

Ah, the tantodori. My uke, Ben, has just tried to stab me in
the
neck. Fortunately, he missed!

There's that pesky knife again! This is going to be an ikkyo. |

After the grading, me (in the middle) and my teachers, Jon
Davies
and Sarah Williams. I'm wearing a hakama for the first time, and
feeling
quite pleased with myself!

A few days after the grading, prepared to trip over my hakama! :-) |
