Malone Blue Belt
Well done James! Great turnout for this test, and the celebration afterwards. Big thanks to Susan for hosting, and the chefs responsible for some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had, and all the flavors of the homemade ice cream were sublime. James broke his left little toe in 3 places during the test, so he may be sidelined briefly, but he never let on during the demonstration and showed tremendous heart. Darryl, get ready. Nice combinations Donald! A higher quality version can be seen here.
Well done James! You displayed a lot of heart during your blue belt test.

Excellent job, James. I feel privileged to have been a part of you test. Your performance will be a great motivator for aspiring blue belts; as I said before, you are a leader at the academy.
Oh, and the reception was beyond incredible!!

You looked fantastic, James! The technical portion was sharp and precise, and the rolling showed fluidity, toughness and heart. Well done! I’m very bummed out that I couldn’t be there. I missed something special.

James,
Great job on the test. Your perfomance inspired the rest of us sitting on the sidelines. Your hard work paid off, I feel that I have been privileged to see yet another physically and mentally impressive product of our teacher Mr. Dean.
As to the dinner, that was some of the best food I have ever had, period.
Good to know you.
