So, on Saturday, I took my final for second degree black belt. My legs feel like JelloTM still. And the ache...it just won't stop. If the building were on fire? And I had to descend the ten flights of stairs? And then run to live? You could just go ahead and cross my name off the survivor list, because I'm so not making it out. I injured my big toe on the left pretty early on, and had to deal with that through the rest of the exam, which made for me not doing as well as I could have or would have liked to. I'm missing a chunk of skin from my right pinky finger, and was bleeding pretty badly from it at the end, but...

I passed though, as did the kiddo. So we managed to get second degree together too. It was a good day.

Someone shoot me now.

Please.

How about instead of shooting, I prescribe to you a warm bath with eucalyptus oil and afterwards, Nice Cool Drink of Choice?

Congratulations!

Thanks, and the sore muscles will be gone soon enough...it's a function of being tense throughout the whole test.

Congratulations! I don't know where I am these days I've moved to a different federation, but the rules about rank transfer are a lot looser here. Personally, I'd be fine with being busted down to 5th kyu and starting over, but I could well be testing for shodan this year.

Thank you sir. I'm sure you'll do just fine and I hope you find a place to start training again.
