March 23, 201511 yr 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.- Miowara Tomoka

March 24, 201511 yr 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
