Last night we had our close doors black belt testing.  A long awaited day.  All the hard work for the last 10+ weeks came to and "end" in one evening.  When I state "end" I don't mean end in finality but in ending of this small portion of the journey, as there is really not an end but a new beginning.  In a few hours we will perform our skills in front of our friends and family.  I'm very proud of all the candidates, they have done a great job.
