Title: I did it. I cannot feel my legs, but I did it. Post by: Master Bluespike74 on March 23, 2014, 01:06:20 AM I am now a Shodan in Shaolin Kempo. This test was much worse that the previous one to achieve Black Belt. My Star Wars friend in the class shook my hand and then with a super straight face tells me: "We are Sith Lords now."
You just cannot get a day better than that. Or could you???? I just downed a butt load of fries. I have been living off Peanut Butter, Protein Bars, and Frosted Flakes for 40 days. I wanted something greasy and delicious covered with cheese, chili, onions, and anything else they would put on it. They only sent me fries with ketchup. Oh well. May the Force Be With You ALL!!!!

Enjoy those fries, my friend. You earned them :D Point. Absolute point. Title: Re: I did it. I cannot feel my legs, but I did it. Post by: Master Rel on March 23, 2014, 03:01:50 AM Congrats!
Shodan is almost always a demanding test, in hard line styles. I completely empathize with your efforts and excitement! My first Shodan was in Shotokan karate, it was a nightmare due to the tester...spoke no English, test was all in Japanese and pain (shinai) lol. I threw up a half dozen times during my Nidan test for Judo, there were 18 other black belts in our club and I had to roll with each, one after the other until I got an Ippon (full point) or they got three Ippon. Each point I lost meant another match. It left me extremely dehydrated, had the shakes for hours afterwards. Knees were twitchy for the whole weekend. So I know your pain. Congrats. It is an accomplishment that few will understand unless they go through it. Well done! Title: Re: I did it. I cannot feel my legs, but I did it.
