PURPLE!!!!

John Moore awarded me m Purple belt last night. Mat got his yellow, Chris got his orange, Tyler Brady Susane and Zack all recieved their blues. It was a touching moment as John called me out after the testing and thrashing. He explained my accomplishment at Worlds and how much he trusts and values me. A tear came to his eye as he stated that this belt was no mere belt as it was HIS purple belt and that he wanted me to have it to keep the spirit of the school going.

It was nice to have so many promotions and see a great turnout from the school and families and friends. With this belt the time has come to up the intensity two fold,,I want a world title at purple now!!!!
