mazzybear Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I sat my grading for 4th Kyu last night I got a pass B, which I'm delighted with because of the work I've had to put in over the last few months. Back in september I was promoted from 8th to 6th Kyu due to success at the national Kata championships. Since then it's been pretty crazy trying to learn stuff I bypassed with the promotion plus normal grade work, at times I felt a litlle out of my depth. But last night made it all worth it, to come away with a B from what my instructor considers a pretty difficult grade, just blows me away. Now the work for brown belt starts here. M. Be water, my friend.

jaypo Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Congrats! I remember my years from purple to being on the cusp of brown was awesome. Sadly, I had to quit right before my brown belt test. But everything happens for a reason! Congrats, and focus on being the best purple belt you can be- until it's time to be a brown belt!!!
