I test for Blue Belt on the 19th in Tae Kwon Do.  For those that are wondering, our school's belt ranking runs: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Red, Brown, Red/Black, Yellow/Black, Black.  So as a Blue Blelt I will be at the beginning of the midway point between White and Black.  I do hope to train conistently enough to reach Purple by the end of the year and maybe even Red sometime in December or January.  I'm going to a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu side control seminar at my BJJ school this Saturday and will also find out when some upcoming tournaments are so I can begin preparing to compete

It looks like I will be testing for the Blue Belt in Tae Kwon Do later this month.  My main priority in martial arts for the last year and a half has been Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and my progress in Tae Kwon Do had slown to a crawl as a result, but lately I've been trying to attend both martial arts with equal zeal and as a result it looks as though I may be testing for Blue.  I won't know for sure until sometime towards the end of next week but will post when I know more

This will be the only entry I make in regards to this topic and it will be short.  I started working at a law firm this week (I’m an Attorney for those that weren’t aware) and I don’t think I could have found a better fit.  The people there are great and the energy level in the office is wonderful.  On top of that the firm is located a brief ten minute walk from my apartment.  I don’t think anyone could ask for a shorter commute.  Even when going to court the trip is either a 15 minute car ride or train ride.  With a commute not an issue I am able to go to the gym in the morning and unless I’m in the office past 7 p.m., either Tae Kwon Do or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the late afternoon/evening.  I’m definitely a happy camper
