Ti Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 Congrats on the Shodan What style/art did you receive it in?I train in shotokanIt took me 27 years so I know how you feel. A very well done to you.You got me beat. Congrats!I had a 22 year gap between my purple belt and my Shodan test. But I hung in there, and when the opportunity presented itself, I capitalized. And it sounds like you did the same! Congrats!!I was offered to test for it 3yrs ago, but because I didn't really feel I was ready to move up, so I waited 3 years. I'm a bit of a goofball at heart. I guess in some sense I started as a white belt again, since it would take a person roughly 3yrs if tested on time.
