I joined seniors without the splits

I joined seniors without the splits.

I read years ago that BjP judges splits from around thirteen, and I think most age groups include them except ladies. I knew I could not do an essential move, but I joined anyway, because I believe that all skills can be improved.

Slow progress still counts.

Plateau or slow growth still beats not showing up. Seniors includes moves that I can't do yet, but just like a school student stepping into a new grade, you do not know the content on day one. Each year brings new routines and new strengths.

Seniors looked hard, that's why I joined!

I first saw seniors in 2016. It looked hard, intense and mesmerising. That is why I made it a goal to try one day.
