Blue belt confirmed

I don’t actually have my new belt yet. I’ll get it next week. But I passed my test! And I did really well. I knew it and I felt good and it was fun. The sparring session was awesome. I feel like I’m finally moving past the plateau I’ve been on for so long.

Remember when I wasn’t sure if I’d even test? I was considering quitting! Or testing, then just not doing much for a while? Well, the opposite has happened. I feel energized by this test prep. I’m excited to spend more time at the dojo. I’m excited to see what I’m going to learn next.

I honestly didn’t anticipate that possibility. I’ve been so stuck for so long, but it turns out spending a lot of time at the dojo, learning and practicing and perfecting got me unstuck. Who would’ve thought? So obvious in hindsight.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I got through it and I’m really happy with how it went.

And the best part? I keep thinking I should review something, and remember I don’t have to anymore!

Now that is a great feeling.
