Shotokan-kez Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I think we have had many or similar posts like this before, but i just wanted to tell you all that i have ordered my black belt. I am getting frustrated because i have been waiting nearling 6 weeks, on the other hand i was very fussy and kept calling them to change it. Anyway in the end after changing my mind 3 times i have bought a silk belt, with my name in Japenese on one side, and shikata shotokan in japenese on the other side. So what do you guys have on yours?Kez Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk

Akaratechick Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I'm glad you got your belt Shotokan-kez!!I have my name on one side (in English) on the other side - My stripe is actually a scripture 2 Tim 4/7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith "All your life you are told the things you cannot do. They will say you're not good enough, strong enough or talented enough; you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. ………..…. “AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."Nike Ad.
ps1 Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Ummm...I think the Tokido tag has managed to survive. It has lots of fraying and nothing else. That's just how we do it. Wear it until it falls off. No markings or writing though. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
