Well done Den-san I really feel for you!!!! Now the Journey begins you will now start to learn what Karate is all about. Did you know that you have a 1:10000 chance of grading as a Shodan, 1:44000 of becoming a Nidan etc so you are 1 person in 10,000 who stepped through into a Dojo for the first time and never gave up. That's something to be really proud of. Osu!!!
