You got brown belts saying they have no idea what the hell they’re doing and I see so many comments of people referring to themselves as unathletic middle age nerds.

You’re ok my man

I got my 4th stripe

After having a cry on here about effing up my 4th stripe test, I re-did it and passed. I re-read all your inspirational comments, felt shockingly underwhelmed, so watched Rocky 2 instead and went out and nailed it.

Being 4th stripe white, I feel like the school captain of a special school.

So to finish this post, I want to say thanks and leave you with this message of hope:

"You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart and My heart will go on and on"
