I think taking time off is usually the best idea. Time to get your perspective straight and to pursue interests (karate, etc.)
Best of luck. Keep in touch!
Did you end up moving? ...Changing dojos? What katas are you working on? I'm currently trying to work on Empi Sho and Naihanchi sho. My kids are taking time out after just finishing back to back (spring and fall) soccer seasons. I think they need a break from extracurricular activities.
Are you officially a biology major now? I got a master's in biology before going into med school. If I can ever be of assistance, let me know!
I was wondering about how your school ranks people since you listed yourself as 8th kyu.
This is what Ridgely Abele's www.shurite.com site says:
Ranks
The Shuri-ryu style, like most systems of the martial arts, uses a belt system to designate rank. The appropriate rank is awarded when the student demonstrates a certain level of proficiency when performing the required techniques, kata, etc. The ranking system as spelled out in “The Pinnacle of Karate” by Robert Trias is as follows:
* White (hachikyu)
* Yellow (schichikyu)
* Blue (rokuyu)
* Green (gokyu)
* Purple (yonkyu)
* Brown (sankyu, nikyu, ikkyu)
* Black (shodan (first dan) through judan (tenth dan))
but this is found on Warrior Pages and I think reflects what your school is doing:
Rank:*
(Kyu is a beginner grade)
(Dan is a black belt grade)
*Can vary from school to school 10th Kyu - White Belt
9th Kyu - Yellow Belt
8th Kyu - Blue Belt
7th Kyu - Blue Belt
6th Kyu - Green Belt
5th Kyu - Green Belt
4th Kyu - Purple Belt
3rd Kyu - Brown Belt
2nd Kyu - Brown Belt
1st Kyu - Brown Belt
1st Dan - Black Belt
2nd Dan - Black Belt
3rd Dan - Black Belt
4th Dan - Black Belt
5th Dan - Black Belt
6th Dan - Red & White Belt
7th Dan - Red & White Belt
8th Dan - Red & White Belt
9th Dan - Red & White Belt
10th Dan - Red Belt (denotes head of style)
It seems that there are a lot of different grading systems. It might be a good discussion topic for the Shuri-ryu group.
Thanks for the welcome. Get in touch when you come to FGCU. Congrats on your Blue Belt. Osu.
