SynAck aka Little Sunshine :facepalm:<p><em>sigh</em></p><p>So I registered for a karate seminar on the first weekend of December that I <em>should</em> go to but that I don't really <em>want</em> to go to. I should go because ever since we lost our dojo, I've been training virtually and it's been a long time since I've worked with another human body. </p><p>But if I get a new job - which is looking more likely as I've made it to the final rounds of interviews with at least one company I've been talking to - I won't have any vacation time so I won't be able to go for one of the 2.5 days of training anyway. I just couldn't overcome the FOMO to not hold my place though, <em>just in case</em>.</p><p>Oh well, I guess if I end up not being able (or willing) to go, I can just chalk up the seminar fee to me "supporting the federation" because that's what good <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/yudansha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yudansha</span></a> <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/karateka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>karateka</span></a> do.</p>
faraiwe<p>Re-started training <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Aikido" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aikido</span></a> , not a week ago and, because <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yudansha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yudansha</span></a> rank is not exactly common, senior instructor already hinting at preparing for an eventual next dan, which I suppose shows an interest and yada yada, but...</p><p>I found out with years of training, that I care about learning, and exploring technique and the insight afforded by tactical situations, but also that I am *aggressively* uninterested in testing, katas, ceremonies, and all that.</p>
