Belt tests this coming Saturday

[pegkerr]

Both Fiona and Delia passed their pre-test today, so they will both be testing for their next belts Saturday morning. Fiona will test for brown belt, and Delia for brown stripe. Once a student passes brown belt, they will be addressed by everyone at the dojo with the honorific "Mr." or "Ms."

It was a joy to watch them in class on Monday. I couldn't quite see Delia (their class is quite crowded) but got a good view of Fiona as she pistoned out her side kicks, rock steady. She has a particularly powerful side kick. Gorgeous. I am so proud of them both.

I plan to remind sensei again about getting me trained in on dojo cleaning so I can start my trial month to see if I really want to do this. I am having more doubts, but I will try it for a month.

Will Fiona be Ms. Fiona or Ms. [surname] once she passes her brown belt test?

She'll be "Ms. [surname]" until Delia gets her brown belt, which may take another two or three months, I think. Then they will be Ms. Fiona [surname] and Ms. Delia [surname] to distinguish the two of them, since they are in the same class. There are some other sibling pairs who are advanced belts, too, and that's what the custom is.
