bushido_man96 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I don't even recall what we did after I was awarded my black belt, to be honest with you. I think we just ended up having a dinner afterwards. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Dinner and drinks with my instructor and guys at the club. Then more drinks after dinner and drinks. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I took it home and careful laid it beside my uniform and went to bed. The next morning I celebrated with a dozen pain killers and a bottle of brandy. True story... well maybe not a dozen.. more like half a dozen pain killers.

Shizentai Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I rode home in a car with my senpai who gave me advise about where my technique needs improvement. Then when I got home, I slept. It was an exhausting endeavor, since in my dojo usually people test on the third day of a three or four day training camp with very little time alloted between sessions for eating meals or sleeping a full night.

Rateh Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 After my first 1st degree test I celebrated at dinner with my family. We used to always go to steak places, so I chose an Italian place that I had always wanted to try. Also we had cake, decorated with a stick figure wearing a black belt. (I think my sisters did that).After the second 1st degree test (in a different system) we had dinner as a group at someones house...unfortunately I had a seizure and ended up in an ambulance going to the ER....don't remember a whole lot of the day after that. The test was fun though! Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. - Nido Qubein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWx Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Wow I feel neglected. We didn't do anything. My dad never even came to watch any of mine or my sister's dan gradings. Think I came home, had a shower and went to bed. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudoshin_Ryu Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Shodan : Went to a friends restaurant and ate and drank a lot! I think I spent the night at his restaurant, a few of the testers did ><Nidan : Went home, showered, and fell asleep at my desk writing a research paperSandan : Which was just recently, I got done with my testing and went right to work ><[/b] I find myself dabbling into a lot of different martial arts styles, some I've been awarded rank in, but I don't feel as if I deserve them.
