Lol, I remember going for my black belt. I had to do the same thing, I dont think it had a major impact on my playing at all.

7 years ( ) but I've been stranded on preliminary black for 3 years. School and Uni commitments, not to mention a fair dose of laziness, have slowed my progress in recent years.

I don`t consider that to be a long time.
