Today, I went to black belt class and refreshed my memory on high green belt self defenses, and learn more of 1st dan self defenses. Sadly, we were not signed up for the stick seminar, but at least I did not have to go and already be tired from black belt class, so I got to feel better and go home. I got go to the whitewater center, because my dad was playing there, and it was very fun.

Today, I woke up so late from, partying at the whitewater center, when I did wake up, I stared to sit there and watch YouTube shorts. Then when I did get up, I started to play my favorite game, 99 nights in the forest. After that I asked Christina if she would play one of my favorite Pokemon games, Pokemon ultra moon. She did not want to and that made me sad. The rest of the day went like this: we watched a guy talk about the tech he got to make his dream home.

Today, I went to black belt class, did my best, and got through it. Then, I went back home to do some requirements. I need to work on my roll in knife self defense, and my hip throw, but now after the self defense seminar I feel better about knife self defense. I think if I was told to do it, I would do well.
