Disappointment
Aug. 15th, 2007 08:57 amI heard from sensei yesterday that Fiona did not pass the third pre-screening, so she won't be taking the September black belt exam. She'll have to go through the pre-screening process all over again, which means that she has to go through three pre-screenings and (assuming she passes them all) the soonest she could test for black belt is December.
Sensei assures me that this isn't unusual (he went through the entire process three times himself before getting his own black belt). She hasn't been a double black stripe for very long and mostly needs to build up more strength, but we'll get the specific notes on what she needs to work on when she goes back to class next week.
Still, it is, of course, a disappointment.
