Paula - Dan (could be PK Dojo)

Paula, it appears -- now reaching her black belt first degree can become an instructor if she so chooses. Paula and Cerpicio had a celebration for her achievement, in which I botched the time, arriving well after everyone had left. Sorry I put a dent in the evening, but that movie we saw needed lots of viewers to assure you that you weren't missing something, but rather that it was foul!

Anyway, the belt, bearing her name is neat, with a bar on the side indicating her degree (1st). She mentioned that there are stages to get to the each degree, a number of years roughly equivilent to the ranking of degree, so that the 2nd degree takes 2 years, 3rd three and so on. Therefore, a person who has a 9th degree is likely an older person, yes?

I hope that she does with it what she wants. Sometime I would like to see her work. Cerpicio was not enchanted by the prospect of her demonstrating on him.
