Monkeymagic Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 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. 'Karate is a set of beliefs and practices that are never grasped in their totality and that generate more knowledge and more practices' Krug (2001)

Kieran-Lilith Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 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 My original post is no longer valid!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.

krunchyfrogg Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 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.
