ddavis Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Anbu Alex,You have no control over how other people feel about you abtaining the rank of Black Belt. Keep traininig hard, let that be your response. I remember what my Sensei told me when I got my BB, he said "The man of Tao when getting his Black Belt, carefully put it in his bag and walked home. He did not stop to speak to anyone." It does not matter what anyone feels, it matters how you react.

DragonMike Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 If you continue to to train hard you will show them that you have earned it. If they do not eventually respect your abilities, then their respect is incosequential anyway. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
