Co_Co Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have to say i had a few problems with GKR at first. But now we have had a new Sensei turn up and he is really changing things around. He’s shaping things up and i was in class with him for 5 min and he had corrected me on 3 things and im like wow he’s good. He’s making the classes better and finding the problems and correcting it or getting rid of it full stop.The problems with B/W belt is some are not that high them self’s. He doesn’t like it so he is giving them a choice come to my senior class, and he will train you to destruction till u r worthy of that belt of he will give you your old colored belt back. He wants to lower the amount of B/W as he see to mainy in class domonating towards the students.And generally make it a joy to train not a chure.B/W = Black and White The Reason I Train, Is So I Dont Have To Fight.

Shrekka Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Aren't you interested in his experience and qualifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Definately ask! You wouldn't hire a lawyer to defend you without checking what his win rate is, so why take a gamble on someone you are paying to teach you something.If he takes offense at you asking, I would be asking yourself some serious questions as to weather or not this is a good person to be training with. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co_Co Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 All i have heird is that he is very good because in our club the teaches wear black belts with a white line through the middle. and no student askes what belt the teacher is because there are some teachers with the black and white belt that are starting to learn how to teach as well as learn them selfs. Strange i know but he has come from a nother part of the country to help us all. Kancho Robert Sulivan wouldent of send him if he was bad. No hes good he just dosent like to show off or bost The Reason I Train, Is So I Dont Have To Fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrrrArg Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The white line means he isn't a dan grade.I taught for GKR for about a year, mostly in my grade belt, but if anyone asked I told them my grade.The idea of it being rude to ask his grade is just a mechanism used to hide grade. And not one particular only to GKR.In short....ask him his grade or better, ask how long he has been training.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrrrArg Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 After 7.5 years with GKR I was a 3rd kyu....time means very little with regards to grade in GKR, not neccasarily a good OR a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
