It only took me 20 years.

I must be going for the all time slowest record. 

Started in 93.  

One year break here, 12 year break there. Got back. Bad injury here, laziness there. Got back & got a blue after 15 years. Long work hours here, money problems there, and here and there. Got back.  and then the ever so popular 'been meaning to get back' periods of time.

 

But still trying to make it to class whenever I can. 

Got a good year & half of pretty consistant training in, and then this happen the other day.

Alot of thanks go to you guys. Reading all your posts & vids on here have always helped me to get back on the matts after lonnnng lonnnnnnnng breaks.  Slowly but surely.

Hopefully  I'll get a Black one by 2023.  :)

Wow - congratulations!

I've only trained for half as long as you, but it's given me enough perspective to be able to say that the people I admire most are those who have persevered and trained through thick and thin.

Kudos to you my friend.
