Alhamdulillah, Yesterday, (Sat-16 Sep 2008), I was promoted to 5th Dan Black Belt after a very hard grading test by two Taekwon-Do Grandmasters which were Taekwon-Do Grandmaster Dato’ Dr Sabree Salleh (9th Dan) and another Taekwon-Do Grandmaster CS Lim (9th Dan) from Canada.

There are 6 candidates yesterday where 2 of them took for the 3rd Dan, another 3 of them took for the 4th Dan and only me took for the 5th Dan.

It was a very tough and hard grading test where most of the candidates got injured and scares especially on the forearm. Even, I got a muscle shocks on my right leg and bruised my left middle finger. Even until now it is very hard and painful to move around.

At the end of the grading test, we have given a very long words from Grandmaster Dato’ Dr Sabree Salleh and Grandmaster CS Lee and from now onwards I’m an officially promoted to Global Taekwon-Do Federation 5th Dan Black Belt, International Instructor and Examiner.
