tatsujin Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 In my organization, everything through Rokudan (6th dan) is a technical grade. Past that, Shichidan and Hachidan were basically time in grade and more honorific than anything else.I am fine with that. In my organization, the time in grade requirements would take 25 years minimum for you to get to 6th dan. I am a Godan and have been at it for 45 years. If you have been legitimately at it for a quarter to a half century, I personally think you are going to get 99% of what it is that you need to know. But, if other organizations want to do it differently, that's fine too. When it is a 30 year old Hachidan, that is when I kinda scratch my head! LOLThanks. For me bujutsu is not a set of techniques, but a state of the body. Once the principles are integrated, the techniques surge spontaneously because the body is capable of adapting instantaneously.
