what is your belt?

Brown belt (1st Kyu) - for just over a year now but noved country last summer so may not get my chance to take black belt. Still training by myself and teaching what I have learnt in school as part of the curriculum.

 

I feel I am still developing and can wait for my chance to get a black belt in my style of another. Karate is on going and you are forever learning things about it.

 

Belts are important when you are in a club, to show rank and for others to look up to the higher grades and want to aspire to that - they are an incentive for those who are learning. Black belt is still my incentive but my individual learning of the martial art is my incentive now as I don't have a club here where I live.

 

My style is Seki Juku.

Haha! My original post is no longer valid! I'm finally an orange belt!!!!! Finally!!!! 5 months, 5 months of waiting....sheesh. Now, when can I test for blue, I wonder? I already know the kata I need for that, and almost all the terminology....heh.....many more months, I think.

Black as the darkness that covers the pit of my soul :evil: ...Sorry, just watched a South Park ep. on goths and feeling a little sardonic.

Anxious are we?

 

Anyway: Black belt-Shodan in White Tiger Kempo (Maybe testing for Nidan in June, getting ready for that :D )

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

I'm a green belt, and I'd be testing later on tonight if I didn't miss about 4 months since the last Shiai.

 

Getting married and breaking a toe will do that, though. ;) :)
