This week I put on the purple belt for the first time. Real or unreal, it seemed that I had more respect than as a blue belt. During class, I was consulted more on technique by the practice partner when trying to learn a new one. In the advanced class, during the circle drill, I was attacked with more aggression. It was a rougher practice since I was expected to handle more intensity. I felt more a part of the family and that I was rising to the new level. It was good being a purple belt.
Until I have the purple belt blog setup, I will use this blog then transfer the posts.
