Despite my limp and my pain in my hip, I was able to reach down deep and take my brown belt test in Kenpojitsu, at Elite Martial Arts in Warsaw, N.Y. I could have not done it without the encouragement of my teacher Mark Bellinger and my peers. The above picture includes two fine lady warriors- Any and Katlyn. It was an honor to test with them and see them receive their brown belts as well. This is a memory I will cherish forever.
