… I was so cross that … by Madi

My grading was here, going for brown belt! I knew it was going to be extremely hard but the only thing I can do is my best.

Nervously, I walked in with my sister, [who was going for purple belt black stripe] and warmed up cautiously, making sure I didn’t hurt anything - or anyone!

Then, it was our turn. We started to do exercises and punches which were all going great. But then, something went wrong. Unfortunately, we got up to combinations - on the pads - and I did it wrong. I was so cross that I nearly walked out.
