tessone Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I'm a lowly white belt in Kuk Sool Won, though I hope to get my yellow stripe at the next testing. I've fallen in love with it (for reasons I've posted elsewhere) and train four days a week (sometimes five), as do all the serious students of our do-jang.

OldRookie Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Just tested Saturday & will recieve my yellow belt this Friday night. Choong Sil Tae kwon-Do. We also work a lot of Aikido techniques when training self defense & I can't wait to start sparring. Our belt system is white,yellow,green,purple,blue,brown,red & black with Jr. & Sr. in all belts until black of course.

tessone Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 It's one of the joys of being a college student. I've been thinking about Berkeley for grad school for a while, and the fact that there is a KSW school nearby sort of sealed it for me. I'm definitely in this for the long haul. _________________ Chris Tessone White Belt, Kuk Sool Won [ This Message was edited by: tessone on 2002-04-24 23:07 ] Chris TessoneBrown Belt, Kuk Sool Won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitseach Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 3rd Kyu (brown belt first level) Shotokan karate, training on and off 10 years (don't grade much and a rubbish kicker anyway!) 7th Kyo judo (at least when parts of this thread got terse the whole thread wasn't closed down - I spent an age once replying on a thread then two people after me got shirty and the whole thread was closed - it was quite annoying. Why the offensive messages weren't just deleted and the posters disciplined is beyond me!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tessone Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Cobra, do all of your belts have multiple stripes before promotion? How many? In KSW, it's just belt-stripe-belt-stripe, etc. on up to brown-black belt. Chris TessoneBrown Belt, Kuk Sool Won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamutti Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Hello, fun to hear all the variations of rank/belts. I am a 1 gup red in TSD -hopefully for about 6 more days. I am testing next Thursday night for my apprentice belt. I started karate for some unknown reason, loved how it keeps me in shape, and now I just love learning all the techniques I can. I am just plain addicted, can't explain it. I help teach classes including our cardio karate class, and I work 25 hours a week managing our school. I love all the people who teach there; they have become like a family to me. My husband wants to know why it takes 3-4 hours to take a 1.5 hour class-you know all the play time afterwards- the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
