Through the tunnel

Congratulations guys and gals!! The testing is done, now the work begins. To train like a black belt and become more proficient in Tae Kwon Do. Also, congrats to Jason for getting the best Black Belt Candidate this cycle. Not an easy task and it took dedication and perseverance. Awesome job. A couple of shout outs to others like Master Dege, for getting her fourth Don. That's an incredible amount of work to achieve that goal. Ryan for kicking butt on the requirements and always there to help out. Trent was very grateful to have you as his mentor. I'm sure you were a definite runner up to the best black belt. Tiger, who lets nobody stand in his way of achieving his goals. He is dedicated and is driven. He will someday be on the cover of some magazine. The Hartle's for all their help with this cycle for inspiring others to do their best. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to observe the students at the other King Tiger locations, but they all did a phenomenal job at testing. A special thanks to Master Chin for being so inspirational during the test. She kept coming to the back area of the testing, smiling and encouraging us and giving a lot of helpful advise. She is one awesome lady. Also, a special thanks to my friend Master Richie for coming out for the overnight test and being there for us. He always has a way to keep us laughing when we need it the most. Instructor Weeks for being an incredible mentor and a good friend as well. I owe a lot to that guy.

Now it's time to walk the walk as Black Belts. Never forget what and who got you here, and pass on the training and inspiration you received to others climbing the ladder.
