Fish Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks to all of you.I'm not sure how it feels. 5 years ago, when I started out in karate, it was the holy grail. Achieving it was almost an anti-climax. Don't get me wrong, it feels good - but it feels like the beginning of something, rather than a goal achieved.

swadoryu2000 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I see a lot of congrats and support....one more wouldn't hurt!In other 2, 3, even 4 years (or whenever your instructor feels you are ready) your instuctor might say ''It's time to consider your Nidan testing...'' haha! Yes, it is the beginning of a new path. Let's put it this way: everything you have done up to this point is getting you ready for real training. But I'm not here to lecture you, heh. Congradulations on your Shodan rank! All thoughts have consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
