Kind of a long post
So, we are in Little Rock, Arkansas to see my brother test for his fourth degree black belt and compete in the world championship.
There was a lot of drama getting here. First of all, when we landed in Memphis we couldn't find the bag that had Josh's weapons in it. Turns out that they never made it on the plane. We couldn't wait there to figure it out because Josh had to get to Little Rock to do a fitness test. You can't do the rank testing without a fitness test. We got there 20 minutes late, but he ended up making it in on time.
We spent the rest of the day trying to get the weapons here, tracking them down and stuff. They were supposed to get here last night, but never showed. For his testing today he had to use someone else's weapon. During the board break portion, he kept messing one board up and finally got it on the third attempt. He doesn't find out if he passed for 2 months.
After that we called the airport and they said that the bag was in the Little Rock airport, about to get in a truck. My dad was like "HOW DO WE GET IT OFF THE TRUCK" and the person was like "you have to go to the airport." So we drove to the airport and finally got the bag.
We got back in time for Josh to compete for the world championship...and...
MY BROTHER IS THE WORLD CHAMPION IN WEAPONS
I am so proud of him. This was his first time competing in the top ten, and he beat all of those guys. A lot of them that were there have won TONS of times and my brother goes in as a nobody and kicks their asses. Awesome.
