Good News, Everyone!

On Sunday I had the test for my black belt in Judo, and I passed. I am officially a black belt now...on paper anyway. I still don`t own an actual black belt yet, but I gots mine on order.

It was a lot of work and a lot of fun pursuing the black belt dream...took about a year and a half, two to three days a week...but now it seems I`m really just beginning to really understand Judo. What seemed like an end has become a beginning. I`m looking forward to delving further into the Judo world and actually becoming proficient at some of the techniques I had to learn in order to perform the Nage no Kata.

In other news, its off to Gifu Prefecture this weekend for two days on the slopes and three nights in the hot springs...who`s a lucky boy?

If we continue to learn from our mistakes, we must remember to make them in the first place. Congrats bruv
