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.
Thanks bro! You can do it!

I know it was for me. I developed the most at purple as well. Congrats PTM, you got an awesome story brother!
Yeah man it was quite a challenge buti t's crazy when everything you've drilled and practiced and practiced starts flowing in & out of each other. A whole new appreciation from the art renewed the drive to keep getting better. HOWEVER.... The better I got the tougher the higher belts would go on me, that part I wasn't expecting lol. Oh man.....the ass kickings by the browns and blacks were crazy, but all for the best.
"We gotta treat you like a player now."
Was both a great compliment and a scary realization.
