sensei8 Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 What would I do? I'd bow in and gladly do the retest without question! Absolutely! **Proof is on the floor!!!
Roys15 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Sorry late response, I know. I just look around in class to see people struggling with things they should already know for their rank. For me personally, when I turn to a higher rank and ask him to show me a kata or technique, and he can't do it, it makes me wonder why I just bowed to him.I just think that the threat of losing rank would keep us all sharp.yeah, you "earned" your rank in testing, but if you can't repeeat it, did you really learn it and earn it? If a blackbelt is easy to attain then you have to question the worth of the rank.
tori Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I have never seen anyone lose a rank, but have seen them stay at their current rank for a long time. They have to prove that they should be allowed to go further. Live life, train hard, but laugh often.
