aefibird Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Subtract 5 and you get what other arts with 10 dans would give, since the difference is that those arts have 5 'skill' dan instead of 10. Subtracting 5 would make him an equivalent of a 9th Dan, which still sounds dodgy to me. Genuine 9th Dans are rare and don't tend to place flash ads in the Yellow Pages.... "Was it really worth it?

ps1 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Tradition is what you make it. This system has 15 dan ranks. I'm not saying this guy is ligit, just that ranks are not a good method of judging. Train, or at least make contact with him first, then judge.

patusai Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 To each style their own I suppose. If his students recognize the 14th dan more power to him. Someday, he may make it to 20th dan "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
