Holland Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 There are some high ranking dans that pass out rank like candy in Isshinryu.I have not seen people skip dan rankings, but I have seen a person promoted from 8th dan to 9th dan in less than a year and a half...which in my estimation is pretty much the same thing.
Sohan Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I see quite a few 5th dans out there who couldn't beat some of our brown belts. I've stopped caring about rank and instead focus on my knowledge and skill. I'm a lot happier this way.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
