Daston Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It seems to be a sign of the times. The Brittish Judo Assostiation have anouced that their gradings will be done in a simular way the thing that attaracted me to Judo was you only got graded by winning fights. You used to then fight 4 1st Ques in a line up to achive 1st dan. They then changed it so you got points for a win etc so you could achive 1st dan over time. I am not saying its any less hard it just feels better that you beat someone to achive your grade. One of my friends went to Japan and visited a Dojo overthere, the sensei asked him why he was there and he said he wanted a blackbelt. So the Sensei just passed one to him and said there you go. He then went onto say that it simbalises nothing and that you must find the skill within yourself or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, congratulations on achieving your 2nd Dan, 1200squats in any one day is pretty impressive along with everything else into the bargain I still dont agree with the Belt/Grading concept, other than an additional prop to help you achieve your goals, do you intend to compete full contact as I know thats now a major part of the TKD sport now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
