Promoted to Brown

This past Saturday by Prof. Tom Reusing. I went white to purple through him, was a nomad for about 5 years and now have moved back to the area. It's weird to say I'm a brown belt. It always seemed so far away. Phone Post 3.0

Congratulations, man! Phone Post 3.0

Brother. I know the feeling. Got my brown in 2011. Congrats my man! Remembered starting Jits under a 2 stripe purple and was amazed he had a purple. Never imagined ever having a "brown belt." Once I got to purple.... I knew that day would come, as jiu Jitsu became a huge part of my life and I knew it wouldn't end anytime soon. When I got my brown, I was like, "HOLY FUCK, why am I not freaking out?!"

It's still surreal when I think about it, but the "meh, it's just a belt" thing clearly developed around mid purple. I wear that shit with pride, but when I hear someone say "wow you're a brown belt?!" I more or less respond with, "yea... But I know a handful of guys that will still tap me out over and over and over. Phone Post 3.0
