Written by I am a little over halfway through the black belt challenge. My numbers for most of my requirements are on track to be able to finish everything. My sparring is a little less than all the others. I had to take time off for injury and covid. I hope to make up time by going two times on the sparring days. It takes a lot of devotion and dedication to do the requirements every day. Some days are more difficult than others especially when I am tired. I just have to keep on doing it like eating and sleeping. It is what I do. No excuses. The picture is my journal I write in everyday. I keep track of what I do on a daily basis on paper.

Great keeping track of your progress Elan! I know you can make up the lost time easily. You have the determination and goal in mind.
Wow! Did you wonder if you’d make it this far? Well you did, and you’ve stayed in track. One kata/pushup/round/day at a time and you’ll soon be there. You go girl! 💪🏽
