Hi guys just wanted to make a mention for my sensei. Sensei David Grice just passed his sixth Dan. As far as i know he did it over 2 days and was very hard and graded by some fine masters! At 61 i have the utmost respect for him and hope to continue having him as a Sensei for a long time yet!

Thanks guys. I was really surprised because when he was telling us about it he was saying how nervous and scared he was and he was tense and couldn't relax. I was just thinking..'What, you, scared? Never!'  Just cos i can never imagine him being scared, but i suppose we all do.

Just goes to show we're all human. That's amazing, especially at 61! A big congrats to your Sensei, 6th dan is a feat for anyone, never mind 61 and teaching full time. wow.

I hope that I can still nail a physical testing at the age of 61! That is cool.

Me too Bushido. What a great accomplishment for him! I also have never looked at my instructor as getting nervous for his rankings. I bet he does too. Of course it has been some time since he has ranked.
