I finally got a chance to test for brown belt. The test was put off because of some extra work i needed.
I was grateful that my instructors pointed off some things in technique that needed improvement.
Well i arrived at the dojo @ 12:30.
The actual test began at 1:00
It was 4:45 p.m. when it was finally over.

I was told by Master Tom Hook that you have earned this rank, because I don't just give them out.

I was nervous doing katas, but totally relaxed with the sparring full speed with no pads.

my son asked me last night " dad what if you don't pass"
I replied " I will right back at class Monday night grinning kicking and punching"

I feel that my training has really just began
thanks for all the tips, and insight you guys offer

That is great. You must feel so proud. Doesn't it feel great to get positive remarks from an instructor. Many times it is worth more than the actual rank.
