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"!

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.

Jiu-Jitsu finds its origins in chinese temple boxing and moved to japan afterwards. Most influences are from the japanese

I'd avoid making such statements in China, if I were you.

Congratulations Sensei!
I recently got my 1st dan in Okinawan Kenpo karate. The testing wasn't nearly as grueling as yours sounds though. A group of us tested in the space of 3 hours. But there was a lot of training and stressing out leading up to it
We call black belts Sensei as well. The reasoning behind this is that once you have achieved black belt status, you are essentially a teacher even if you don't formally teach. Every other kyu rank student looks up to you and learns from you. A bit of a daunting thought, if you ask me!
Are you planning on going for 2nd dan?
|
|
|
|
|
We already teach under the form of "sempai" (seniors) So I have some experience .
2nd dan, probably, but not right away

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
