congrats!
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

That is awesome! :jump: I know you'll continue to get better, since you're so persistant. :) :lol: May you continue to be blessed in all you do, Ruroken. How many more belts do you have to go through before you're a black belt? I'm not familiar with your martial art.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

it goes white, yellow, orange, purple, blue, green, brown, and black. there are more, but youre as hold as dirt and it really desnt matter. techniquely im learning both dan zan ryu jujitsu AND judo at the same time. so i have a bely in both arts.
jujitsu= gentle art
judo=the gentle way

judo is like a branch from jujitsu. and of course there are others such as gracie jujitsu (Brazzilion jujitsu) wich resembles wrestling. dan zan ryu is tradition japanese arts that was developed in hawaii. its a mix of kung fu, (ithink) and Karate(taikioku)
any questions, or anything i got wrong here?

Congratulations!


See? There was nothing to be worried about in the beginning. You asked for support from the community, and mainly from the Lord above. The prayers were answered.


Excellent job! I know you shall continue to do well in Martial Arts. :thumb:

thnaks guys, but i did almost fail! i mixed up to wrist escapes :the Ryote Hazushi and the morote Hazushi, but i did correct them. Whe it was fiinally my turn to recoeve my belt, well he didnt have one visible. my heart sank.
"we call students out who didnt pass to piont out waht they did wrong. who confused two techniques, BUT you crrected them!" Sensei pulled my orange blt out of his gi, and i nearly fell over. as the class is leaveing he said "Was that mean?" to my mom. Moms all "You almost gave me a heat attack!"

Sweet! I am in Pai Lum Kung Fu right now, and I know how it can be difficult sometimes to remember your stuff. I am now working on my 6th degree Green belt. I love Martial Arts, and would reccomend those of you who have never done it before to try it.
Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of that great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
