Three months is no necromancy yet? Sorry didn't really get that. My grading went fine, I passed. I haven't yet tried out other martial arts but I would like to.
-
So I have an interview for a UK uni on the 10th of feb. Anyone have any tips on what might be asked? I'm applying for a bioscience course. Thanks!

Little late to the party but the Garmin vivosmart HR fulfills all your friend's needs.

Oh man, my sleeping schedule has gone to shit since break started and I've got to get up real early (-ish) tomorrow for (apparently) the first ever Keiko Hajime in my country.

Yeah I've asked for an even longer belt so I can wrap it around myself again since when I tried it with this belt, the two ends were incredibly short.

You could check out the new Garmin Vivosmart HR. Seems pretty decent. I'll probably get it when it comes out in my country cause of the boatloads of functions it has over the fitbit charge hr. EDIT: oooh whoops didn't see that you mentioned it at the last part of your post. But yeah I think the vivosmart hr looks promising!

The title basically states everything. I got a new belt that's way too long but that's the smallest size my school has. I went to tailors in my neighbourhood but they all said the belt is too thick for their machines to handle. Any suggestions? Maybe a way of tying that uses more length than usual? Thanks!

New Aikido belt is wayyy too long but its the smallest size the school has. Anyone have tips on how to shorten it? I use the 'superlock' method (learnt it off the rener gracie YT video)

I asked a friend of mine, who is a Judo Coach. His best idea: Do it yourself. Cut off an end and use a good sewing machine to sew it up.
-
I don't have a sewing machine or access to one though.
-
Go to someone who does leather work, they will have needles that are much stronger than a tailor would. Either that or just cut it and use frey check, wont have quite the same look, but it wont frey

You're welcome.

breathing helps! but also, you've got this, you know your stuff just take your time and you'll do great!

I usually tell myself something like: "I KNOW the curriculum. I'm going to use the Aikido grading as an opportunity to show them just how much knowledge I've acquired and what a badass I am."
Good luck!

What martial art are you looking into? -
Hey! Just found this thread and was wondering if you've been continuing with TKD? I started Aikido around the same time you started TKD I think. I started Aikido in July. Just yesterday I was having a bit of an anxiety attack in the morning and I went to Aikido class in the afternoon and I felt so much better. It distracted me, gave me something else to focus on and I could take some time to logically think about what I was stressing out about instead of just seeing DOOMSDAY. Exercise might be a bitch during, but it really makes you feel good after you do it. Maybe going to TKD will help with the depression you mentioned? Not to mention, that's a good place for some social activity that isn't related to your job.

Are your hips facing the right direction when you start rolling? Your body will follow the direction your hips are pointing at.
