Thursday 7th April 2005 at 00:41 I have done shotokan karate on and off for years,I have often felt it is great for fitness and maybe even a introductory to different martial art styles(has i am now learning).But it will all depend on what you want from martial arts?. |

Thursday 7th April 2005 at 12:48 :-)) thought you were serious! The sensei of a local karate club started jj at our club a while back he only lasted a few lessons,i'm not sure he quite liked getting his arse kicked by some of the white belts! |

Thursday 7th April 2005 at 14:05 :-)) That lad must have started training in his nappies! he must have skipped his potty training and gone straight into karate either that or his folks paid off his insructor! The karate boys ive come across so far dont seem to have the right attitude three have been through the club in about six months:-)) |

Saturday 9th April 2005 at 16:28 Under a lot of adult syllabuses (syllabi?) you can get karate black belts in 3 years (3.5 TKD), so maybe a junior black belt is the same. A few organisations have a junior syllabus which converts at adult level. See how well I block all your |

Sunday 10th April 2005 at 15:21 well as you know lol i just started yesterday and the coach/sensi said if i worked really hard i should make black bet when im nineteen thats in 6 years. And 6 years isnt really that long to perfect a sport to the best of your abbillity so maybe they should think about changing the grading from 6 months to a year (the caoch said there is gradings every 6 months.

Sunday 10th April 2005 at 17:59 Tom, a Black belt really just means you have a reached a particular level where you can really start to learn the details of a system. It doesn't necessarily mean you are the best. After Black belt comes higher levels of Black Belt and these can take years to get. In TKD it took 3.5 years of regular grading (if you passed) to get Black and then you had to wait at least 2 years for your 2nd degree. My trainers were all at least 4th dan so had been training at least 10 years, pretty solidly. See how well I block all your |
