Not a Huge Deal But…

Getting promoted to purple.

I’ve been a lifelong blue, not because I suck but because many years ago I took time off, and in more recent years it’s been injuries.

Happy to get promoted.

Congrats. Just out of curiosity, as a newly minted purple, do people or newbs automatically feel the need to crush you?

I hope not. One of the brown belts said, “Thank god,” or something like that, so that was cool.

A purple belt OGer may be the most dangerous man on earth.

Don’t die a blue. My half joking half serious thing was, “I don’t want to die a blue belt.”

Do it! If it has to be a “workaround,” do it.

One of my blues quit at purple. He said, “this is all I wanted to accomplish”. I get it. Keep on training.

It’s going to be nice because I wear almost exclusively blue gis, so a contrasting belt color will be cool.

You’ve got this.

Congrats, OP. Nice!
