Big Nick's Black Belt Grading....

[Makalakumu]

Sweet pics, Nick. The training really is paying off for you. Your stances and your technique with the jujutsu looked really clean. I especially liked the kotogayeosh and tominage pics. Also, seeing a big guy take air spells big trouble for any opponent. If you ever come to Duluth, I'll invite you to my dojang if you are interested.

Well...the camera angle and my partner's size helps with the illusion....
But I guess I'm no flyweight at 6'5'' and about 330 lbs...

Thanks for the offer...but I don't get to that area much...

Well, the offer stands. Nothing like a four hour drive...

Again, congrats, Mr. Bignick.

Whoops, I didn't see this post! I may have to start a similar thread when I get closer to my third dan test...I've got about a year to go...

Thanks for the pics!

Well, it's become official, I guess.

I'll be testing for 2nd dan in tae kwon do this June.

In addition, I'll be testing for shodan in jujutsu around april, and possibly be cross-ranked in judo at the same time at shodan.

It's hard to believe it'll be a year and a half...time flies...

Oh well, I gotta busy couple months ahead.

It is official that you are testing for your 2nd degree? It seems to change everytime I ask...
