thanks guys
totally agree ifight, it's my first belt and it feels amazing haha.. i had to break a board with a step in thrust / sidekick and i was soo nervous i smashed the blackbelts hand up pretty bad but got it easy on my second try when i took my time hahah..
I get to spar now tho which is a huge deal for me, cardio/speed wise and getting my reflexes up to where they need to be.
It's all coming together, my diet / working harder / learning to balance weight issues and when to just rest.
