Fractured Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 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. "The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fractured Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 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! "The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself."

aurik Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 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.
