Menjo Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) After going through my black belt examination my instructor gave me a black belt from his youth, and in the end the only thing I can say is: I lost it after a year or so.I Once got mud on it and he was seriously annoyed. In fact its been months since this event and I haven't found the strength or the balls to go back without it, what do I do?

ps1 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Work harder to find it. Failing that, you can do something like demonstrating the integrity and courage to tell him what happened. That doesn't, by the way, mean he won't be upset. Just that you will have done the right thing. Remember, when you have chosen to be an honest person...dilemmas like this won't be an issue...you'll just do the honest thing.

Menjo Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks ps1, it was thrown into the garbage by mistake.I'm leaning more and more into telling him what happened, thanks again.menjo "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglands_KyoSa Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 yikes. if you can't get it back you absolutely have to tell him and apologize. you can't go on not letting him know. he might hold it against you if you don't explain and someday he might even ask you!you'll find a way to tell him...just reherse really well...thats what i do "Smile.

tallgeese Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Wow, that's a bummer.I'm feeling for you on this one, and I think ps1 had it right. Oh yeah, and rehearse it a few times as well. Good point. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan-kez Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Oh dear thats not good. I can see your dilema. All good advice here can't add much. You should try to be honest and tell him. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menjo Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hey and thanks everyone, I guess the only left is to actually do it, which I'm planning for next week. Thanks! "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dineshm Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Lie to him.Just kidding...Instructors aren't evilpeople, well most of them.A student in my former dojo once lost a pair of sai given to my instructor my Fusie Kise (shorin Ryu).He's still alive today.

bushido_man96 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 ps1 is right. Accidents like this will happen. If he gets upset, then so be it. Listen to him rant, and then be done with the matter. We are all human. I am sure he has lost some things along the way as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
