karatekid1975 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 By the time I test for my TKD high blue belt, I will be training two and a half years in all (both arts). By the time I test for my red, I'll be training 3 years (in October). Ok, I'm rambling. I just realized how long I've been training And it's just the beginning Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaF Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I have been training in Goju for 9 years and have reached the rank of 1st kyu. This may seem like a while but I am rather pround of that milestone. The major reason it has taken so long is because I started young and graded too quickly. I ended up getting stuck at a couple ranks because I was too young. For instance I cannot grade again until I'm 18. Foruntately I turn 17 in a couple months I have trainined in kobudo for about 5 years, same rules apply though Goju Ryu Karate-do and Okinawan Kobudo, 17 Years Old 1st kyu Brown Belt in in Goju Ryu Karate-do, & Shodan in Okinawan KobudoGiven enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.I AM CANADIAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
