LOL, your profile says you're 21. Late bloomer=Hilarious!!

lol, well i have been a green belt for over a year. i could have promoted last year, but didn't test because i didn't meet my own notions of what a blue belt should be capable of.

i'm just not in a rush to get a belt that i don't feel i can represent properly, especially since a lower belt doesn't keep me from learning anything i want to learn, there are no "secret techniques" that the black belts are keeping from me




wait, there aren't, right?

That's about normal. Most green belts can successfully defend themselves in street situations.

Picked this up about a year ago. Kept thinking I'd get it for years, finally decided it was time to do it or forget it.

THe photo isn't the greatest - it's a bit distorted as it wraps my leg.

Tom Y., thanks-that was classic old skool. Makes me count my blessings!!! I owe you some positive rep for that one.

I'm thinking about getting an anting-anting, a sakyant, and a corpo fechado. ...and maybe an orchid done horimono style.

I want them all done the traditional way, and I want them done in the right setting because I want the artists to have the right intent and knowledge.

When I go to the Philippines, I'll pick up the anting-anting, when I go to Thailand, the sakyant...maybe the corpo fechado in Brazil, and the horimono in a divey yak spot in Osaka or something.

All except for the orchid are protection tattoos, from things as different as buddhism, animism, and actual voudou with the corpo fechado tats...I figure I should cover my bases.

I need to touch up my toe flower one. I went back to training too soon, and I had the antibacterial stuff on and then wrapped it, but it leeched out the colour. So it's a crappy motley blue now instead of that intense royal blue. Once I'm not pregnant, I'll go in for a re-colour.
