jaymac Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You know Sohan, I think most people are the same way. It wasn't until I was testing for my purple belt that I realized that I needed to focus more on becoming better in my techniques than achieving my next rank. I am a Nidan now and do not care when I will test again. I just want to be really good at what I am doing now. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

unknownstyle Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 my teacher has always told us that at black belt is just a person who has good control of there body and has put in the time to learn the basics "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious."

RichardHangHong Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 One of my instructors once said it's not the belt that's important, it's who you are that counts.I also heard a story a while ago about a yellow belt sparring a brown belt, the brown belt thought he would have some fun and ended up getting his butt kicked on the floor. Looking a bit confused the yellow belt pointed at his belt saying "This didn't hit you, I did". Never judge a book by it's cover eh?
