snazzed Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I hate moving and switching styles and dojos. I just wish I could have stayed at the one place and gotten my black belt. Oh well. Maybe next dojo but I'm getting old... Born: 1975 Practicing since: 1996 Kyokushin: Orange Belt: Date? I think I was 9 or so... 1984? I don't really count my Kyokushin time because I was so young and I did it because my parents suggested it. Shotokan: Blue belt (5th kyu): Aug 1999 Started Karate again at age 21 and did Shotokan for 4 years Hapkido: Purple Belt: April 2004 Moved and went to a Hapkido place that was a McDojo but I didn't recognize it. I was there for two years and quit in November 2004 when I got injured... again and decided not to go back. New Dojo, New Belt, coming soon. snazzed 4yr Shotokan, 2yr Hapkido, 1mth Chito-Ryu.The Hapkido place devolved into a McDojo during my stay."Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand."

Got to blue belt, and moved the week of my brown belt test I moved here (NY) and I did a bit of "dojo hopping." LOL Laurie F

searcher Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Yes, testing was sped up due to prior experience. That was all fine and dandy, but I would have preferred to go slower. It helps with the digestion of new material. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
