Mateus moved up another level in Martial Arts. He is now second section and could not be more pleased with himself. He was a bit peranoid that there would be no applause when receiving his belt from Instructor Bob. I assured him I would clap and holler with such gusto that others would eagerly join in.
It was quite a test he had to pass. It involved his first and second katas, as well as a range of kicks, punches, and self defense techniques. It also ends with every tester's most dreaded question, "how is he doing at home (or school)?" I must admit I had abused the power of this question in the previous weeks leading up to the test. "Mateus, what did Instructor Bob say about listening?", "Mateus, are you being respectful of Bianca? Instructor Bob is going to ask me about your behavior."
Mateus outranks me... I'm only first section.
