Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. ~faulkner Today I tested to 5th Dan Black Belt and fulfilled a goal that I have been working towards for 5 years! Feels great to have finished that chapter of my training, I am ready to see what working on my 6th Dan has to offer. Thankful for all the students and instructors that I am lucky to have in my life, and for the family and friends who always stand beside me along the way!
