Yes, Master Dave Hopkins promoted me – I can now where the Yellow Belt. To say the least, I was very happy and to be honest, I was slightly surprised – I kept asking myself if I really deserved to be promoted. Master Dave called me up in front of the class, gave me a yellow belt and a certificate. He described how he has been watching my progress and that I actually do deserve the promotion. He encouraged me to keep going, continue until I make Black Belt and more…I was humbled by the things that he said about me and how my Kung Fu has improved.
I know that attending 40 classes and being promoted to Yellow Belt means that I have only scratched the surface of Kung fu San Soo. All I have to do is watch the Black Belts train to remind me that I have a long way to go. With all that said, I have noticed something recently; I have noticed that with this little bit of knowledge and experience I also have increased confidence; I am more aware of my surroundings, I am healthier, I’m stronger and more coordinated.
I am very pleased with where I’ve come and what I have received; it is well worth the sacrifice!
Thanks for reading,
