searcher Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I hear ya on thinking whether or not you would live through it or not. My shodan test was the most difficult of my dan tests. You are observed for six months and then it comes to a climactic "hell week", if you will permit my use of the term. On my last night we did the fifty man fight, which is the "watered-down" version of Mas Oyama's 100 man fight. I called in to work for several days to recover after that. Now it all seems like a distant memory. Now back on topic, our Dan tests go after Shodan you are eligable for Nidan after 1 year, although not a guarentee that you will test. After Nidan you are eligable for Sandan after 2 years and so on.. There are also minimum age requirements, but those can be altered in special cases. For example I am only 31 and have my Godan when the age req. is min. of 32. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
47MartialMan Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 So why use degrees? What purpose do they have?
ncole_91 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 I dont know and I dont imagine that question was directed to me
