I got promoted to nidan tonight! It's been almost two and a half years since I got my shodan. My training was a bit sporadic for awhile after shodan. I've been training and teaching very consistently for the past nine months, though, and I finally broke through!
Woo! I'm no longer considered a "new" black belt!
Next up-- official instructor certification! |

Congrats on the promotion. I always enjoy seeing these type of posts.
I remember being promoted to Shodan-Ho in 2008, then being promoted to Shodan in 2013. |
