pineapple Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 In my school, the students are required to go through 7 three minute rounds of sparring to achieve black belt. I tell them that this is not a test of their skill but a test of their inner strength, their heart, their ability to not give up when things get hard which is more important to me than their skill because once they achieve this ability to not give up, they can apply martial arts to all aspects in life thus living the life of a martial artist.

aes Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have been told that in the school I train at you have to spar 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 opponents at the same time. I do not know how long the rounds are but I do know it is for real and no one is taking it easy on you. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottnshelly Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 My first Black Belt test - Jr. Black in American Tae Kwon Do - was about 3 hours long, ending in sparring. 15 rounds alternating between point and continuous with the Black Belt panel. Then a couple minutes of grappling with my Instructor. He tore my gi while we were sparring. He grabbed it with one hand and punched me with the other and it tore the dang thing. Also, while sparring, my Instructor's Instructor grabbed hold of my gi on the sleeve and didn't let go for the whole fight; he beat the pulp out of me. They said the reason that they fought me so hard was so that i'd know that if i could make it through 15 rounds of full-contact sparring and a round of full on grappling with experienced Black Belts, then i could handle anything that i would ever encounter. I was 14 at the time of my first test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Jules Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I had to go 15 3-minute rounds, after a 4 hour workout...... Same for my NiDan San Dan was 12 3-minute rounds against 1 opponent, 1 3-minute round against 2 opponents, 1 3-minute round against 3 opponents, and 1 3 minute full contact against my master (7th Dan) Yondan was 7 days long.....5 hrs a day. First day was a 40 minute NHB round against my master, 3rd day was a 30 minute grappling round against my master, and 7th day was also a 40 minute NHB round against my master. GoDan test was a little different. After I passed my Yondan test, my requirement for Godan was to create a system with all I had learned over the last 30 years, and demonstrate it fully to a panel of masters, which I was successful in doing...Thank god, cause it took me 4 years. My master still snuck in a really long round though......he just loves to beat the snot outta me......lol ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emei89 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm not completly sure about black belt. I know that you have to go through a 6 hour boot camp with the sifu but i'm not sure who you fight. I know to become an instructor you have to fight all the others and eventually the sifu.

Emei89 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Jules thats ridiculous! I wish my school had full contact. What do you mean you had to creat your own system though?

Master Jules Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Afer 30 years of training, they wanted to see what I would be able to put together. I took all of the inclose moves of Goju, aikijujitsu, aikido, and jujitsu that I would use in real life scenarios which demand an "all out" response, and since edged weapons are my specialty, I included a lot of knife techniques, as well as batton techniques, since those are weapons that I carry ( no need for me to include anything fancy with my gun, since thats self explanatory) ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
