Cheers everyone. Still reeling. Unbelievable. I don't know how I'm going to walk into class on Monday.
Chadderz, I told Ian Rose about you getting your purple belt and he passes on the following message. For those that don't know Ian he is a Paralympic Judo champion and one of the highest graded Judoka in the country.
Awww that's amazing! Gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. Hopefully I'll get to see him next year at the next MAP meet! Quick update about the purple belt: I've grown into it now fairly comfortably. Definitely there are some heavier purple belts still giving me fits but I'm loving training.
