My journey with Danzan Ryu has reached a benchmark. I began training in DZR in 2002 in Minnesota and I found it a great complement for my karate training. After breaking my collar bone and injuring my back with some falls, I took a hiatus from training in 2007. When I moved to Hawaii in 2008, it just seemed right to continue to practice this art that grew up in Hawaii. At my new dojo, I started over at white belt and now, in 2011, I find myself back where I was. By the time 2012 rolls around, I will have put about ten years in the art. That seems about right for a shodan test!

You have a black belt mentality, the color you wear will match that soon enough.
