Congratulations!
I'm still waiting for my instructor to allow me to test for shodan in Kyokushin karate... Maybe I should try training more???

not sure what shodan is, but I focused on my exam since last summer. That included studying, extra physical training (fitness) and even watching my diet somewhat. The last few weeks where filled with daily doing something for the exam...

Wathcing the diet to get down to a reasonable weight sounds like a good a idea (it might take something like a decade, though... )

How the japanese would say here (at least how it would sound)
"Conuguratualationu V. San"

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else

You hit me, I demand lots of cash.

You do know I could just hit you again until you stop demanding cash, right?

Nice!
I went to Taekwondo* coaching when I was a kid, but gave up eventually because I chose gaming over it.
* Not sure if Taekwondo is even related to what your post is about, but still...
You have just been Sharapova'd.

There are quite a lot of people training some kind of martial arts here, that's true. Strange, really, because computer nerds are not normally associated with such physical activities, are they?

I used to do it also, also was a fairly successful handball player (right backcourt), but stopped that when started doing computers more seriously (about 17)...

Congratulations!
You know that a black belt is nothing more than a white belt that just kept on training, right ?
|

I know that you are joking here, and whereas there is a certain truth to that (at least for some martial arts styles where the only criteria for advancing is the lenght of time you've trained, and advancing comes more or less automatically), in most martial arts it takes a lot of dedication, perseverance and hard work to advance.
So I prefer the version that says "a black belt is nothing more than a white belt that didn't quit"!

V. wrote: In our club the custom is that you become sensei when reaching 1st dan Atcherley, you become a sensei when you teach someone something, because all it means is "teacher". The word has no special or mystical meaning; it's what every Japanese schoolkid uses to talk to their teachers.
And what's it in? Because if it's a variant of ShouLin fighting or gong fu (which a minority calls "kung-fu"), then it's Chinese, anyway, so "sensei" is entirely inappropriate.
Congrats all the same.
