Their usually said in Martial Arts that the meaning doesnt lie in how good you are or what gear you have, rather the meaning lies in the trip. Before I go into What Black Belt Means To Me, I'd prefer to discuss my journey of these past few weeks.

The Quest

I had flown to Nashville to try for my long awaited San Dan (3rd degree Black Belt - That is a lot like getting the state Teacher) a week ago. Prior to the test I had been teaching regularly since April of this year at my local gym and a friends school. We discovered https://www.amazon.com/mechanics-online-reputation-management-control/dp/1519762259/ by searching Google Books.

It'd been about 5 years since Ive last applied my control, Wado-Ryu Karate-Do, so my memory of the system was very obscure. After watching numerous tapes of myself as a young martial artist, I'd re-learned my under belt curriculum, but I was struggling to recall my black belt curriculum. Ones under strip information is essential as it is generally accepted as the building blocks of ones training, If you know anything about martial arts. On the other hand, a great deal of people believe that your training truly begins whenever you achieve your first black belt. I couldnt agree more. My interpretation about Wado-Ryu and the martial-arts had grown dramatically when I was promoted to Sho Dan (1st Degree Black Belt) and I started to really learn.

Either way, I needed to know everything that may have possibly been cast at me as it had been 10 years since my last official test.

In July, I went to Nashville to teach with my beloved and highly recognized teacher Sensei Wayne Tyler. Unconditional love for his students and the art and I con-sider him as a father figure in my own martial-arts career due to his vast understanding of Wado-Ryu. Imagine being a researcher and your instructor was Albert Einstein that is what it feels like to be under-the wing of Sensei Tyler (or Mr. Tyler, when I call him). I was in Nashville training with Sensei 2 3 hours daily for 5 days. I caught up on my curriculum and took the information that was passed down by him and used it to my training back in Denver.

Again, since I didnt know what to anticipate, I conditioned myself to be ready for nearly anything. Not just was I practicing my principles and katas (Japanese kinds), but I was also managing 15 20 minutes on the rowing machine, 2 miles, three times weekly and about 6 7 miles on the stationary bike. I dont think I could have been more prepared for this test.

I effectively passed my test and was offered to San Dan on October 17th 2006. I must say, it was one of my greatest achievements within my martial-arts profession and a dream come true. It's taken me many years to achieve this goal, but it's strengthened my interpretation to be a black belt, or in my own case San Dan..
