AnonymousOne Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 It all depends on the person, the type of training, the intensity of training, the amount and type of self study. There is no set criteria. Physiologically we are all different. Its all up to you. However I do believe that in a "decent" school 2nd Dan level is a beginning point. 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul. Warriors are action takers and not action fakers. If you are cruising, make time for losing
