After a weekend of brutal grading i have achieved my first dan black belt!!!

I have a lot of aches and pains from a long skills session and a huge fitness test but gave it everything i had and come through the other side. Not sure its quite registered in my mind yet but very glad i have made it this far.

Looking forward to continuing my karate journey from this point!

That which does not kill us, must have missed us.

Great job RAM18!!

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

Congratulations Ram18, sounds like a tough weekend. I am glad I didn't get a fitness test at my dan grading - I might have been knocked back to white belt :blush:
