TSD Y049 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 In one of my previious topics I asked for advice on my black belt test. i also said that it was on April the seventh. I had my pre-test last thursday, and only half of us showed up so there were 3 in all. I went to class today, as with most other mondays, and much to my suprise he had us stand up and presented us with our belts! I could not belive it, I still can't! I will post some pictures once get them devolped. Oh, and my parents knew since last friday it would be happing so that is how I got the pictures. in the picture it is only me and another girl. The other person was not able to show up tonight so he will get his on thursday. Alos in the pictures you will see that I am not wearing a black belt, it is half red/half black. This is what my instructor calls the probationary dan stage, it lasts 20 classes. I will get them devoloped as soon as possible for you all! Thanks for your advice!

Chris from CT Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm just afraid of getting a big head, do any of you know how to aviod this? Once agian thanks. Congratulations! One thing we do at our school for all ranks is go down to one knee when putting on (and taking off) our belts. This is out of respect for the knowledge and what we put into earning that belt. As a black belt, while on one knee, I will touch my folded belt to my head and say to myself, "Proper Mind" then to my lips and say, "Proper Speech" and finally to my chest and say, "Proper Heart." By doing this, I remind myself every time I put on my belt how to be a worthy Yudanja and not let it "go to my head." Congrats again and I hope this helped.
