[Goju_boi]

if 8th kyu is your brown belt you either have loads of belts or brown belts a low rank?

theres like 3 types of brown belts at my dojo.

It says brown is 3rd, 2nd and 1st kyu?? 8th kyu is orange.

Whenever i spar my instructor, he always goes in pretty heavy when we're not wearing sparring gear, but not through lack of control, its just an agreement we have sort of.... come of bumped and bruised a lot though.

i relish the hard beatings, it shows just how far i have to go, and i look forward to sparring my instructor

[Sam]

I agree completely - just like doing things properly, sepcially since TKD gets so much stick for being either light contact - or no hands... neither of which we do.

I haven't really gone through a "beating" yet... I suppose you could count the first time I sparred in our adult class. Let's just say I was WAY to used to sparring the little kids. My green belt friend thankfully didn't show me any mercy. Oh, the time I went to an all-styles tournament didn't go too well...

The first beating I took was in the first dojo I trained in it came by way of the Sensie during a belt test.After picking my bloody and bruised body up off the deck he welcomed me to upper belt fighting.The most recent beating was when I sparred with a retire kickboxer who held a world title.talk about hurting the next morning.

When I was a white belt, I had the misfortune to face a black belt who was getting ready to compete in a tournament. He'd just finished sparring some other black belts, and I think he was just keyed up. Normally, everyone in the dojo is appropriately gentle with beginners, but my partner forgot for a moment and connected with my ribs enough to break one. Sensei rebuked him to take it easy.

Ironically, I was so focused on sparring that I didn't suspect that I'd had my rib broken until after we finished sparring.
