Yesterday was excellent for me I passed with really good comments from the grading members table. I got some pointers from Sensei Robert about my yoko geri and my foot position and that i still lean a bit in the kumite both he has been trying to solve for ages in me but when i got my pass Sensei Paul said it was the best grading I have had with them. I must admit I walked away from the table really proud of myself which is a bit silly for a 40yr old man but I was.

It's good to be proud as it's an acheivement, I put passing my Black belt up there with other big life events like marraige, births etc. Well done on your grading, you can tell when someone has put loads of extra effort into them.   |

Every person who trains hard, dons the white pyjamas and puts themselves through the grading mill is worthy of respect and should feel a sense of achievment. It only gets silly when that quiet pride turns into self-aggrandisement as evidenced in another ( very popular it seems ) post on this site. The truth is every grading is a personal battle that no-one else really gives a shit about. Wear your belt with pride and look forward to that feeling again when ( as you no doubt will) pass the next one. |
