powerof0ne Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Well.. since my dad doesn't get on sites like these, I will answer for him.He has graduated about:1st Dans: Somewhere around 30-40.2nd Dans: Around 10.One thing you have to understand about our style of Shotokan, is that there are only 5 Dans. So, reaching 2nd or higher is fairly hard. My dad is a 4th Dan and he received it from the late Ken Eubanks. So, for me, I am 18 yrs. old and a 2nd Dan. I was in karate for about 12 yrs. also. So, getting past 1st Dan is hard. It isn't just a belt we give away like you seem some kids that are like 7 yrs. old and a BB. We take pride in awarding students to the BB level.Are you SKI? You guys follow the Kyohan like the bible too, right? flowing like the chi energy inside your body b =rZa= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardHangHong Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 None so far. I can't grade people to dan levels (that will be recognised by our governing body) until I reach my sandan (3rd Dan) which I'll be attempting next year.Although I've had 4 students who've trained under me reach black belt so far.
