Back in the dojang

As the cold starts to ease out of my system it's time to get back to where I was a few weeks ago. Today I managed to go to hapkido for the first time in a few weeks. In truth since my 2nd dan test I have been about only five times, and the test was about a month ago. Back at the dojang today and things were tough. We didn't do much just stretching, kicking and a gradual series of combination moves that I have done hundreds of times before. At the end I was shattered but in the best possible way. It's good to back and with a bit of good luck and hard work perhaps I can still manage to participate in the next test at the end of November.
