The Black Belt isn’t the end - it’s the beginning. It’s a symbol of the blood, sweat, and tears put in… but it’s also a clean slate - a new start - a new journey. My BJJ practice - since receiving the Black Belt - has been as exciting as the early white and blue belt days… except this time I know what I’m doing. And that “knowing” is now muscle memory - it’s not something that requires conscious though anymore. It’s amazing. Beautiful recap of the #graciebarra north Orlando belt ceremony by @bla
