Hi Mike,
What a great achievement! Although not in that league I recently went through my brown belt grading with GKR. It was a tough barrier to break having gone through 7 scrutinizing viewings before I was even allowed to attempt to grade. Being 53 and taking up karate at the late age of 46 didn't help either (I know what to do but the body doesn't always cooperate). As fate would have it I only got to wear the belt once, for having been training at the same time to be a sensei, I then had to switch to the black and white belt!
Anyway, its something I rarely talk about outside the family, but I'm proud of what I have done, and if I can play my part in helping children get fit and defend themselves I'm happy.
Regards
Glenn
