I tested for my brown belt today after 19 years. The test was long (4 hours) and very hard physically. Four other students tested for their yellow belts. We all earned our new rank and celebrated with ice cream sundaes afterwards. My teacher Jeff Vanoudenhove a 4th dan blackbelt from Chicopee, MA conducted the test. He brought a friend of his from MA who holds black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and is a Go Ju Ryu Karate and Kobudo Weapons practioner Bill Daigle. I trained with Bill while I was in High School. He was tough then and still is now! What a test it was, never give up on your goals in life! The only person missing from my test was my original Sabum Josepi Chancellor Esq.
