Last night, I was invited to be with a group of black belts to judge the final exam for PED 249A/349A, or Karate 1,2 or 3 at Meredith College.
Well, our scores didn’t count as far as the college was concerned, but it put pressure on the students.
Officially, the real tester was Martial Arts Hall of Famer and co-owner of Karate International Kathy Olevesky.
She ran them through the test for either gold belt, gold belt with green tip or green belt. It was quite a feat for them to learn this much in 12 weeks of a PE class when your head is in your iPod or in a class about your major, (since this is a women’s college, I’m not ruling out bf’s either).
It was hard on us to judge 30 testers at once, trying to see everyone and giving a grade, but Mrs. O. has been doing it for 17 years and doesn’t miss a trick.
BTW, everyone passed their test last night.
