Whats more important having a belt or having a high degree of skill? 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.

AnonymousOne Posted January 31, 2002 Author Share Posted January 31, 2002 I have not mentioned what Dan grade I am here I dont think because it does not mean much to me anymore. After 27 almost 28 years of training the colour of my belt and the ensuring grade I have just doesnt seem as important as it was. When I was young and immature I wanted a black belt so I could brag to all my friends. If I say I am a black belt and I have friend who is a black belt, how do you determine who is more skilled, or a better teacher, or who is more committed? The colour of the belt will not tell you these things. In my many years of experience I have met so many fine Karate-Ka and I believe the feeling is the same as one matures in technique the ranking system is not as important as many other things. Looking back now, if our school had no ranks I would still join. 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.

YODA Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Hey AnonymouseOne - so, just what Dan grade are you then. Does it matter? Nope - not at all - I'm just interested that's all. Grades mean very little these days, especially Dan grades. For example - I know a guy that has been training his ass off for the last 30 years and is a 1st Dan in his chosen art. This is because he has failed to play the political game, and his nose is the wrong colour & doesn't frequent dark, smelly places He's also one helluva martial artist in every sense of the word. I also know a guy that has been training in his chosen art for just 8 years and is currently graded at 5th Dan. You guessed it - brown nose & a very political animal.
