You are not going to master the rest of your life in one day.
Just relax and master the day.
Then just relax and keep doing that every day.

Congratulations to Alan Waters for passing 2nd Kyu. Top job Alan.
Alan had to demonstrate i high level of understanding of the syllabus and be able to create technique covering striking, locking, throwing and the use of a many traditional weapons. And deliver them with good taijustu. Finally he had to deal with a significant kumite challenge.
And of course controlling you own mind and not letting nerves or negative thoughts effect you are a key part of the challenge..... Well done.
