trunksreznor Posted May 27, 2001 Posted May 27, 2001 Hello everyone. My name is Lorraine and I'm new to this board, though I'm on several other martial arts boards scattered across the web. I am 15 years old and I've studied Isshin-Ryu Karate for the past year and a half. I hold the rank of green belt. (Yon-Kyu, sixth kyu rank) I train alternately with two incredible Sensei who come from opposite sides of the teaching spectrum... the gentle way and the punishing way. I only feel like I'm accomplishing something when I'm pushing myself to the limit, and I'm like that in a lot of my life. I do graphics work for myself and my dad when I have free time, and I also work during the summer as a sailing instructor with my brother. I race sailboats every Sunday. When I'm not training or sailing I'm usually on my computer, reading, and listening to music. I am a NINphile and I love anime, which explains my screen name. I look forward to some good discussions. -L "There is no nobility in being superior to your fellow man.

Chennpug Posted June 2, 2001 Posted June 2, 2001 Lorraine, I'm curious about the ranks used in your dojo. I myself studied Isshinryu, and almost everyone I've spoken to who studied it has used a different order/color combos for the belts. Either it's fairly non-standard for the style, or perhaps my sensei liked having the whole rainbow! Here's how she organized our dojo: White, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Green, 2 Brown, and the many degrees of Black. And we had to earn our white belt--it wasn't given to us. I'm just curious how things work over there. "Education: The path where one travels from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty." --Mark Twain
