When I was about to go for 6th dan, I was nervous. It was a 90 minute examination. We had to choose 2 kata of our choice and after that SIX rounds of sparring. I passed, only just, but i was prepared well.

My Grandmaster is Owen Smith.

I'm a 6th Dan in Ancient Kung Fu Karate. I have been training in this style for about 4 years (consistently) and my grand master is a 9th dan in Traditional Karate. I am not in a mcdojo, my grandmaster said i have displayed extroadinary skill and i am not the only high grade there are several other 5th dans but they are in the junior class. What im asking is anyone a high grade like me? I want to talk to some people with experience in Martial Arts.
