Don’t worry C. If you feel nervous you can always walk down to the other end of the mat and tap me endlessly to make yourself feel better.

Congrats again.

Congrats!

I’d love to hear a podcast that goes into depth on the promotion process. Maybe having a bunch of black belts each giving their views on what they expect from a student before promotion? Seem to be a lot of different schools of thought (e.g., once the student has won a bunch of competitions; after a certain period of time then wait for them to ‘grow into’ the belt; once they’re hanging with the belt level up when rolling in class, etc).

congrats, caleb! interview yourself for a “brown belt corner” next podcast?

interesting that the “do I deserve this?” feeling seems to be common to belt promotions, regardless of color…
