2nd morning back after a 2 week injury break and 2nd day in a row I was asked to take the Q for someone!  Sensei has been sick, so I jumped at the chance to Q!  They have become few and far between with all of the Q’s we have at Tradition these day!  So I take ’em however I can get ’em!

10 men strode into the gloom.  Today we will focus on failure!  Most of us can do the amount of reps a Q calls, but what if he doesn’t call a number?  What if he says “Just do it until you can’t do it anymore”?  This happens!
