	<body><![CDATA[On our first lesson back, after the Christmas & New Year break,  Sensei Derrick told me i was ready to take my Nidan.
My first feelings were that of gratitude that sensei thought i was ready, then i began to realize the amount of work i had in front of me.

Last week he asked what i needed to go through, i began to reel of what i thought i would need, he chuckled and added 'ok. make a list'

It reminded me when i was about to take Shodan, i was asked by Sensei Riley on the last class before my grade - what i wanted to cover, my reply was 'the last 5 years'

So i need to break out of my 'comfort bubble' and put in the extra effort, time, sweat, focus and mileage - clearly set my goals and ramp up my training to achieve them.]]></body>
