Twin Fist
Grandmaster
for me? two times really.
1) My instructors picked me to the be the BB that worked with the people getting ready to test for BB. That let me know that my opinion, and skills were respected by not only the instructors, but the students in my school.
2) I was at a tournament, and the guy running it grabbed me to help judge the BB forms grand championship. I looked, there was James Toney, 10th degree in one corner, Keith yates, 10th degree in another corner, a 6th in another corner, and when i walked up, they all knew my name and thanked me for helping them judge the division. When THAT crowd accepts you into it, it means something.
