First Journal of the Cycle

Hello! It's been a couple years now since I last went on black belt cycle, and I'm excited to go again for my 3rd degree. Being a black belt has changed me in many ways, It's made me stronger both physically and mentally too. I hope that every Bochadan has a chance to undergo the same transformation I have with my previous two cycles. Every cycle we get stronger and smarter, faster and better at all that we strive to do in life. Being a black belt isn't just a neat conversation starter, it can become a lifestyle. Get up early, work out, run, and be ready for the day. Be clean too, cleanliness helps make everything easier, especially when the chaos that can be black belt cycle is going on. Hope you guys had a good day, and I am so glad to be on cycle with all of you wonderful people!
