NeilT Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 wel after 5 years worth of training at 2 different clubs I took and passed my black belt shodan grading yesterday Grading went as well as could be expected, only a few stance mistakes in the katas section (nerves) apart from that quite happy with my performance, and still buzzing from the adrenaline rush! The style is a very traditional Shotokan, based in Leicestershire, England. Taking new members if anyones from this neck of the woods and fancies signing upNeil. 1st Dan Black Belt Traditional Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbersky Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 NeilT-sanWelcome to Yudansha-ship!!!!Now this is where you start to learn what Karate is all about. You have made the first step (Sho Dan). Remember YOU make the belt not the belt makes you, stay humble and be a karateka that your kohai can look up to.Bows down with respect!!!!
