Eva and I went over to America’s Best Defense today. I picked up my black belt because my five year stripe was added to it in the last couple of months while we were on vacation. We went in person because we had some serious things to discuss with Sensei. We withdrew from the school. Eva has a lot of extra responsibilities this school year in the theater. This will not allow her much time to commit to krav training. Yes, she is so close to her black belt but at this time she doesn’t have an interest in pursuing it and if I know anything about earning a black belt, it is that you must be all in. You have to be fully committed to achieving this goal and if you heart is not in it then you will not earn it. Eva is young and she has time to go back to this if she ever wants to start again.

As for me, it was time to move on. We also could benefit from not having to pay almost $300 a month to train. I’ve certainly loved my time at ABD but it is time to move on to something new. But we will always have a home there if we ever decide to come back.
