Should I demote myself from Black Belt when I'm frail and old and brown belts tap me? HELL NO!
ahhhh, ive been battling myself big time with this. I dont want to give a false impression to new students/training partners. plus, i dont really talk about my accident to anyone around here. i dont wanna create excuses for it...personal flaw i guess.
My instructor now would like to work with me to "belt" me (i use quotes cause i work nogi 98% of the time) and he would like to be my guidance on giving me my promotion. he never said a word to me, this is all me.
