aefibird Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Does your style have a grade that comes between 1st Kyu and 1st Dan? I know that some styles have an 'extra' grade and some go straigth from 1st Kyu to 1st Dan. Just curious... "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

gheinisch Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 1st kyu to 1st Dan here. "If your hand goes forth withhold your temper""If your temper goes forth withold your hand"-Gichin Funakoshi
SaiFightsMS Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Some have a probationary shodan level or a shodan ho level.
granmasterchen Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 we go from our top colored belt to black belt then to black belt first degree so that would translate into first kyu to black belt then to first dan That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
karatekid1975 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 We have provitional (same as probationary). We have two prov. grades. One is 1st kyu, the other is between that and first dan (same as cho dan bo in TSD), where you learn nothing new, but you are expected to refine everything you know. Laurie F
turonaga Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 what do you mean? like an honorary black belt? why did we surrender lord?
Natural Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 We have 1st kyu, shodan ho, 1st dan. A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro
karatekid1975 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 what do you mean? like an honorary black belt? Yea, I guess you could call it that. Laurie F
Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Ikku (1st kyu) to shodan here. Talking about "honorary black belts", I also hold a legitimate (I'm told it's good in any dojo in the American Korean Karate Association) 3rd Dan in TKD...and never taken a TKD class in my life! lol My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Natural Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Who said an honarable black belt I can't see no one said that? A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro
