Grading tomorrow - It's been a long time coming - still makes me nervous!

My Sensei had hung up his Gi, but he said he's putting it back on for me tomorrow night at the Dojo I've been training at. Super honored. It's going to be awesome.

Congrats on being selected for your Nidan Testing Cycle. Congrats also that your Sensei is donning his gi once again for this most auspicious moment. Don't worry about being nervous because any Testng Cycle takes care of itself; just do your best.

Good luck!!

It was a fantastic evening. Full of emotions and friends.

I know the gradings are supposed to push you to your limit, and I definitely was! After the class, I was presented with my beautifully put together nidan certificate signed by both my Sensei.

Then we went out for the traditional round of drinks :)

Have a great night everyone!

Congratulations, Fractured. If the testing pushed you to your limit, it was a good testing, indeed! Going forward I hope you can now push past your (old) limits and keep improving. Well-done.
