rabid hamster Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 Welcome Shoalin Princess. Hmm, isn't shodan 3rd degree black belt? That's pretty fast. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
Kensai Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 A shodan in Aikido takes 10 years. How could get it in 1? Even if is ant Aikido.

shaolinprincess Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 It will be maybe two years total for my Shodan. In my system we go by hours that you have made. It is in fact shorter than alot of systems but, I go to almost all classes possible. I have 4 colors to go through until I get my shodan, the last few take a while, but I know I will reach them fast because of all the classes I go through. don't blame me cause I love karate, and I missing it.

Bon Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 I can't say I agree with your grading system, that means anyone can 'buy' a black belt regardless of whether they earnt it or not. I do agree that making attending x amount of classes part of being able to test for your black belt as well as being able to perform at that level. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
shaolinprincess Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 Oh, of course there is much more to recieving your shodan than x classes. You must earn it. We are tested very presicely, we must even know the history of our org. it must seem easy to recieve our belts. But I must say we earn it, not buy it.

KenpoChick87120 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 maybe your just a fast learner...ahem..VERY fast learner. Cool, good for you. I have 6 more belts left till black, and I've been in for a year just different systems I spose. Welcome! You're only young once; you can be immature forever.
