There is something very intimate about performing your kung fu in front of a black belt panel. With thirty-four degrees of black belts watching, there is not much you can hide. You are totally exposed. Despite racing hearts and dumps of adrenalin, everyone felt safe. I am always humbled by the trust a person places in the hands of the black belts in a situation like this and I am equally proud of the level of compassion the black belts show in return.
I am blessed to live the life I live. It is said that we are a reflection of the company we keep and I could not be in better company.
"Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company." - George Washington (1732 - 1799)
