Black Belt that is. This past Saturday Kris and I attended Erwin's Black Belt test at the Aikido Aibukan School in Chula Vista. I was supposed to attend a cake tasting with Allison, but I had already told Erwin I'd be there before I knew about the tasting. Plus, being the Great friend I am, I wanted to support my long time friend. Erwin and I actually joined this school together years back, but my time abruptly ended because I decided to go back to school to pursue a career change. Erwin decided to stay and dedicate himself to the martial art of Aikido. In case you have no idea what Aikido is, go down to your nearest Blockbuster video and rent any Steven Seagal movie and it should give you an idea of what the art is all about. Otherwise you can Google it. Anyhow, after two hours of being tossed, punched, kicked, being put into submission, and facing up to 3 established Black Belt opponents at one time, Erwin was promoted to Black Belt. I have to admit, the test was a grueling process and although Erwin got his ass kicked, he deserved the promotion. I never doubted that after all the years he dedicated himself to Aikido that he would be where he is today. If anything, all the beatings he's taken from me probably kept him motivated. Unfortunately for Erwin, some things never change. haha. Anyways, here you go Erwin...you've made our blog. Congratulations Puto!
