– All prospective Dan grades must have shown an ability to lead by good example.
– They must at all times seek to promote safe practice and a harmonious and friendly atmosphere both within the Dojo and outside.
– A Dan grade should not have to be asked to assist the Dojo, they should do so automatically and willingly.
– They should always help their fellow students to progress in any way they can.
– They should constantly practice and refine their own technique and ensure that what they pass on to their fellow students is of the highest order both in training and advice.
– A Dan grade should never stop training, evolving and exploring their technique and
should always seek out advice from senior Instructors.
THE ESSENTIALS OF BEING A BLACK BELT
When you attain the Black Belt grade you become an ambassador for your Dojo and
for Karate, you are on show, everyone can see you and they can see any short
comings in your attitude and performance, you cannot hide once you put the Black
Belt on.
Any person attaining a Dan grade should never lose sight of the fact that they where
once beginners. Conceit and arrogance of any kind is a luxury that no Karate student
can afford to have. There is no place for inflated egos or conceit.
“A wise person never seeks confirmation of their abilities.
Any fool can tell you what you would like to hear.”
