Thanks Tinky.
Put it this way. Yes plenty more Dan grades to aim for - it takes a lifetime really as the process of development never really stops. This belt took him 3 1/2 years and involved his own personal training of 4-6 hours per week plus teaching of at least that, officiating at competitions, gradings etc. as well as satisfying all the relevant technical performance elements. The next Dan grade will take him a minimum of 4-5 years to achieve and it gets harder as you progress.
What started as a way to help him with his fitness and self confidence really has turned into something far more than that. It's a massive part of his life now and I can't see him ever giving it up.

My happy thought: Everything is bought and done apart from a couple of presents to wrap. Can now relax ahead of the big day.
