Interesting article, it really makes you think about the belt system. Thanks for the post, it was good reading.

Congrats! Best of luck to you on your test.

Congrats Alsey! You earned it.

Shaolin_Dragon, good luck in studying karate.

I'm sorry, could you clarify?

Cleung, great article.

I agree with parkerlineage. You can pick up some really bad habits from videos. I'd recommend studying under an instructor instead. Best of luck in studying a martial art!

Brady, I'm glad to hear the issue was resolved.

frightmaster, best of luck to you in finding a new school.

Nice pics! Thanks.

I agree. The head of the dojo, not the association, should be able to name an individual school.

I agree with Zorbasan and bushido_man96. The idea is good, but you should offer it somewhere other than ebay.

Good luck!

Wow, that looks like a really good show.

CV?

I would approach your Sensei before or after class, and say something along the lines of "Sensei, I had a question regarding the bow-in."

I think once a week is okay, but not great. If you progress in training, you might find it difficult to retain your skill level while only training once a week. If you only train once a week, try to do some extra training outside of class, as some other members mentioned. Best of luck to you in your training!

I agree with Jiffy. Best of luck to you in your training!

I agree with what most people have said. The simplest answer is to ask your Sensei.

Congrats!

I agree with everyone so far. Talk to your doctor, then to your instructor.
