Passed my Black Belt test! By psyon82 - 05-25-2010 12:50 AM
=========
I passed my Kajukenbo black belt test a few hours ago, and I am still looking at it and smiling like the Cheshire Cat. Out of the 6 people that started with me as a white belt, I was the first to make it to black. Not saying "first" as if it was a race, but 2 quit at orange, 1 quit at blue, 1 wasn't even allowed to test this time around cause he rarely showed up to class, and the other 2 got promoted to brown with a black stripe.
I started helping out with the kid's class when I hit green belt to help me understand the information better (learn it, do it, teach it), and it really payed off. Our Sigung sat me down a few weeks ago and told me that he was thinking about testing me for black belt, and my performance in class would be a "continual test" to see if I am ready. Today while presenting me with the belt, he said that he had both belts ready (brown-black & black) and my performance met his expectations.
I have video clips of parts of the test if you want to check them out. I made a couple of mistakes at the end due to oxygen deprivation, so please be light on the feedback.
