BLueDevil Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 IM one of those that says it depends on how well you retain knowledge and practice could be 2 years, could be 10. I also beleive that Black belt is an intermediate level There is no teacher but the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 iv been doing shotokan for 6 years and still havent got my black belt this is due to school work i think and training only once a week The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

gold dragon Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Belts are used to hold up you pants. A persons true skill comes out on the floor. Not what is around their waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseoForce Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Belts are used to hold up you pants. A persons true skill comes out on the floor. Not what is around their waist.Nothing like the ol cliche!Actually, my pants are held up by a drawstring. My dobok jacket is held shut by ties as well. My belt is a symbol of my rank that I wear as it is a custom of hapkido that I like. But I get your point. . If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!

Adonis Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I Got my 15th Dan Gold emboried black belt. by some wing chun Grandmaster from china. He had all this cool Kanji symbols on it, and my name written in Japense on it. It only took me a week also. alot of you people on here took years just to get a black belt. Your all slow learners huh? Well any way it took me so long (1 week) to earn it becaus I had to wait for the shipping time to get to me. 3,000 plus 4.50 for shipping and handling. It was expensive but I think worth it for the 15th Degree. I mean I hear alot about 7th, 8th, 9th and some 10th degree's. But how many have 15th Degree black belts. NOt many at all. So now I say to you all BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
