Re: Awarded my first degree black belt today

Congrats. You are now just beginning

. I received my 1st degree in tae kwon do in four years when I was a teenager. I went on to receive a 2nd degree in YESHUA'S RYU Karte Do, and a 1st degree in Koryu ( traditional Ju-Jitsu). I'm still a beginner with so much to learn. I have been very slack in training the last few years, because I just don't have as much time to get to the dojo with working, and going back to college. I'm now a little out of shape LOL.

Keep up the good work, and expand your knowledge!

Congrats.. I guess its just the beginning for you now.. two more belts for me until I reach that level in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Great job on the commitment
 
Re: Awarded my first degree black belt today

Congrats!! And I also appreciate your attitude as far as knowing you don't know it all. I have taken several martial arts classes and I always run in to those black belts that "know everything". So again congrats and always keep learning.

Welcome to the club! Congratulation on your first degree black belt. I was told by my Master over 20 years ago, that you are now ready to learn. Three degrees later, I am still learning. Be humble.
