Just got my Brown Belt!

[Josh Oakley]

Now the real work begins! Shihan Taylor is up here for a seminar and he tested some of us higher Kyu ranks. I took the test sick, working off of four hours of sleep and my knee was tweaking out, but I went and passed anyway! I figure if I could do that i can do anything. I also got KICKED in my bad knee but managed to save it and not swear. Since I was a trucker before I taught full time, that to me is an accomplishment.

what's fun is I can barely lift my arms or move my right leg and I still have a full day of teaching ahead of me.

Wipe off your tears with your new brown belt.

 

[Josh Oakley]

Tears, hell! I've not yet had an exciting opportunity.

 

[John Bishop]

Well, then do what we do in Kajukenbo, wipe off the blood with your new belt.
Congratulations.

 

[Josh Oakley]

Well, today it was more mud than blood, but it was awesome. Thank you, sir!

What I meant with the exciting opportunity post was that I did the test sick as a dog, working off of four hours of sleep, with my knee bugging me. Now I passed and I'm sore as hell. The opportunity for me is to still give my all for my students and help them grow, despite the fact I'm in pain.

Felt I should clarify, since I re-read my post and it didn't really say what I had intended.

I was just giving you a hard time. Getting to brown is a pretty special step. In Kajukenbo, it's the first rank at which you hold a title "Sihing" which means something like "Elder Sibling"/"Big brother/sister" etc. anyways, keep it up bro.
