Lupin1 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I got promoted to nidan tonight! It's been almost two and a half years since I got my shodan. My training was a bit sporadic for awhile after shodan. I've been training and teaching very consistently for the past nine months, though, and I finally broke through!Woo! I'm no longer considered a "new" black belt!Next up-- official instructor certification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidan Melbourne Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Congrats on the promotion. I always enjoy seeing these type of posts. I remember being promoted to Shodan-Ho in 2008, then being promoted to Shodan in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
