February 24, 201511 yr Our Vice President spent the week reviewing my classes last week. I was told that he was assessing my students. Last night he informed me that he would be leaving for home but would like to have the last 20 minutes of the advance class to address us. To my surprise he asked me to remove my obi and bring it to him. This made my heart drop thinking that I had done something wrong. He then asked me to stand before the class and presented me with a new obi and my Rokudan certificate. Pretty out of the normal as we do not usually give meritorious promotions until Hachidan. It was pretty great getting promoted in front of my senior students. Pretty happy right now. Still on cloud nine. Devil DogGodanShorin ryu, goju ryu, isshin ryu, kobudo.
