How to get my black belt in judo
"Took a while but I got there."
How I did it: I started taking judo in September of 1997. I worked my way up through the ranks, and got my brown belt in October of 2004. Then, in August 2009, I graded to shodan, and now I have my first-degree blackbelt.
Along the way I learned over 40 throws, and -- so far -- two katas.
