Holy jumpin!
 Turtle could bow onto mat A and win a match on mat C. Congrats by the way. It must be a relief that you no longer have to wash the Yudansha's socks.

QUOTE(Steve Leadbeater @ Nov 1 2009, 05:43 PM)  Wear your Kuro Obi with pride...................and just a little bit of humility. Don't wish to cause trouble, but the expression "wear your Kuro Obi with pride" or "wear your yellow belt with pride" or whatever, makes me cringe. Usually westerners don't need to be told that - more like strict instructions on humility  But it's also important to celebrate achievement, too, eh! Sumimasen.. m(. .)m |

Sumimasen.. m(. .)m Whether you cringe or not................I will say the same thing to you should you be successful and obtain Dan grade. I don't say it to Kyu grades, only to Dan grades..............and some Westerners do need the admonition regarding humility.  **Rei** -------------------- Do unto others BEFORE they DO you !!!
