I've not been doing well lately on submitting journals, I'm still on track to hit my requirement before testing, but I need to do better.

I've been practicing a lot and getting more confident.  Hapkido is still my weakest point.  It's so difficult to practice alone.  As I go through the rest of the requirements it seems I fall apart on something different every day.  Sunday - Bo Dan Specials, I completely blanked.  Monday - Sipjin, there's no way I did it right.  Tuesday - Staff form 3.  Today - Green Belt kick defense.  

I'll keep working on them, but man it's frustrating.  Hopefully I can put it all together on testing day.
