White_Tiger Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Are any of you tested on your weapons...like a belt testing? If so, what are you tested on (a form, proficiency, etc)? What do you receive if you pass the test? Thanks for your input.
battousai16 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 we are tested on forms. you don't get the entire form until you're up to standard, so i guess it kills two birds with one stone. "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Bdaze Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 we have to do forms, demonstrate techniques on a live opponent and the ability to roll, fall and evade when holding a weapon (try doing leeping rolls and forward falls holding a Bo or sword, not as easy as it seems) If in your journey you encounter God, God will be cut ~Hatori Hanso (sonny chiba)
