Can I turn 50 years old and be a 4th dan Black Belt? Who knows but it sounds great, isn't it? This year I will be 47 on october and my 3rd dan test will be on july.
Frankly I never dream to become a 2nd dan black belt, now I have the oportunity to test to 3rd dan and I am quite exited because it's going to be a big achievement for me.
Become a third dan black belt will be for me something to behold and with a lot of pride I will turn to my mother and gave her a big smile when I get my third stripe.
My mom since I was a teen knew inside her that martial arts will be a big part of me, she saw me cutting the blood blisters of my feet and continuing training no matter my feet were destroyed by the rough wooden floor, she saw me in tournaments beating and been beaten, she helped me to recover my teeth afther a turning dollyo chagui doing free sparring, she was my companion in the hospital afther a broken noose, she saw my BIG smile when I got my 1st degree black belt, she saw me and felt the pain but also the cherish with me all these years, she encourage me to keep going.
I am not the little boy of mama, nop but the conection beetwen us is very big and she always be there with me in those TKD moments of my life.
Sorry to be sentimental but good things are coming for me inside TKD.
