|
So I haven't been to class in a few weeks due to work and school vacation, so the last thing I was expecting before class started today was for my instructor to announce my promotion to Ikkyu. I was so taken off guard I actually stood there and just looked at him for a minute not registering and he had to repeat himself.
So this is it-- the final run up to black belt. Nothing more standing between me and that test but 9-12 months of some of the hardest work I've put into it yet. I'm ready for this.  I think... |
