ZeRo Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 my friend said something about my sensei going for her 1st dan. but she already has her BB? can you have a BB without having a dan grade?
Tobias_Reece Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Maybe she had a shodan-ho? "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

Pacificshore Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Perhaps a Sho-dan in another art Or maybe she is re-certifing Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
Bretty101 Posted September 27, 2002 Posted September 27, 2002 Some arts go black belt, then first dan, then second... The difference between a black belt and a 1st dan being a single stripe on your belt. Tho, i think in most martial arts black belt is first dan. I suppose it's just another grade to charge people for. Bretty

G95champ Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 We consider the first black belt your Shodan. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
ckdstudent Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 Our belt system used to have plain black, with first dan coming a year later. They've changed it now, but yes, in some systems you can have a black belt without a dan rank. ---------Pil SungJimmy B
ZeRo Posted September 29, 2002 Author Posted September 29, 2002 i tihnk thats kinda stupid really you shouldnt need to have a plain black, or mayb you should have it just for like 6 months till you can proove your worthy of 1st dan.
