I was going down the technical route. It had been 5 years from 1st kyu to 1st Dan, so I had 3 years left to go. I've heard it has now gone to 8 years from 1st kyu to 1st Dan. So, I have 6 years left to go.

Either I tape myself together, suck it up and compete, or accept I may never actually get there.
