Earn a Black Belt in Karate

I started training in wado-ryu when I was around 10, and I worked my way up to a blue belt. I then moved overseas, and not being able to find a wado-ryu club led to me not training for around 5 years. I really regret that now.

I recently joined a goju-ryu club, and although it’s really different I’m enjoying it a lot. :) I passed my first grading last week, so I’m on the way!

I just received my 3rd kyu brown belt last night. I managed to survive a grueling 6 hour test on Saturday.

just the timing is wrong.

After a two and a half year break, I resumed my training three weeks ago. I regret stopping – or at least pausing. It feels great to train again. I am training near the Blue belt level I had earned just before pausing. My Sempai says with hard work, I may be able to grade for Shodan in two years. Then the real learning begins…
