Let me guess, it has something to do with MTV, Vegas and rock n roll!

Aja had a baby? You would have never known she hid it pretty good with those 6 pack abs

 

[Tap_Legion2]

She joined NASA?

 

[HobbesDawg]

WOOT. I bet she did get her belt!

That's it, when you come to SLC next I'll have to get you a bottle of black label to celebrate

Hi everyone- Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag!

Yes, the reason I've been away from the boards is that this past Sunday I tested for and achieved my black belt in the beautiful art of Shotokan karate.

It was a long 4 days, since before we are permitted to grade, we must attend what is called Special Training - which, in addition to the test itself that follows, is an important part of the grading process. It was incredible as well as incredibly challenging, both physically and mentally. :zombie:
(If you're curious as to what exactly Special Training is, here's a link that can explain it and my school so much better than I can. http://www.ska.org )

Our grading was held at the Ohshima dojo in Santa Barbara (pictured on the homepage there) which made it an even more memorable and amazing experience because it's the first time that's happened for the first degree black belt test, so I got to be a little part of our history, as well.

Wow not only does Aja kick our asses on stage, she can do it off stage too!

That's a TON of hard work for 1st degree...
