Congradulation we knew you could make it. That sounds like one hell of the peomotion test!! Good job,
To reflect on this I ask how many people out of your starting class even made Black belt, and another note how many Shodans made it or stayyed in the dojo to Nidan and obviously only you four made to Sandan. Thtis is just a mental note to reflect how special this accomplishment is, it shows your commenment and lovbe for the art.

Sounds kick-ass, literally and figuratively. Can I offer some Tylenol? LOL Congrats, dude!

I know I am a few days late on this but this made my day! I am busy so I don't get on the forums as much as I would like.
Brian this sounded a lot like my sandan test. Did you have to present kata or self defense tactics? Or, did your instructors know that you know them already?

You said co-instructor J.R. you own a school? Man I am really out of the loop on this stuff.

I was just going to say you gotta bring some to get some and you are packing a load, but 195 6'2 is not bad. But are you sure your'e not fudging you dwarf most of them in bulk and height.

I'd say you have made a complete recovery, the little lady is taking care of you well. Cute kids must looks a lot like Mom.
No just kidding you have a nice looking family. Congrad!!
