    • Well I got my black belt, I’m very pleased and honoured to get it, as I really felt I could of done better, but it’s all a journey.

    I am now a new type of beginner, and I’ll be working hard in each of my subsequent gradings to improve my standard and work towards that “perfect” grading.

    I know many at the dojo and friends and family will chastise me for looking for a “perfect” grading, but I think this cliche is appropriate “Shoot for the eagle to bag the pheasant, so you don’t eat crow” :-)

    Hmmm, can I use that in my newsletter article ;-)

    OSU, have fun
