Shinzen Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nice article. I agree many instructors have watered down requirements and actually rob students of valuable life learning lessons only acquired through long and arduous training. I have been in the martial arts for 38 years (I still have my day job too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoriKid Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 baron, I've seen a few schools that have their contracts set up for blackbelts. The two I know of are an eighteen month agreement to hit black belt and the other a twentyfour month deal. Each has some kind of attendence policy attached as well if I recall. Now, I'm not 100% certain those places are still open though, but I knew of a couple of their students. Not bad people, but when they were freshly minted blackbelts, their skills were...not quite as good as they should have been. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.

yingampyang Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That was great , if you have anymore information please share. I think that there is no 1 style , and that to truly become a great martial artist and person you must take information from where ever you can.
