2018 Black Belt of the Year

Senpai Dylan reminds me of Tony Stark.  He's a pleasant young man, kind hearted and incredibly intelligent...a big-picture thinker,  but when he puts that suit on everything is amplified.

Dylan is the same way.  We've known for years that he was a young man of exceptionally quality.  That was before he earned his black belt at Camp Phoenix 2018.  Almost immediately, like Tony Stark's transformation into Ironman, all of Senpai's admirable qualities were amplified.  He is a clear example of being a black belt and not just wearing one.

For making a profound, immediate transition from the mudansha to the yudansha ranks, we award him with our Yudansha of the Year for 2018.

Osu!

I know maybe just a couple or less than five black belters in this lifetime. None of them appear to be nice contrary to what is supposedly taught to them in the first day of training. Most are bullies. It's like they are taking advantage of their skills. Some kept trying to extort money from weaklings. Again, they are not the type to totally avoid violence or anything similar. Funny I suddenly had a vision of a grassland at night as I am typing this. Funny people don't write anymore. They just keep typing and when they also happen to be black belters, I pray that they are not violent like some people I know.

Honestly, it breaks my heart that this has been your experience. I wish you were able to train with my group. Your would see, feel, and experience the exact opposite of what you've witnessed. Would love to connect more and hear about your specific interactions, hear more details, and maybe even connect you with a good group close to you.
