My style of Kung FU has 5 degrees of black sash. You have to train a minimum of 6 years to attain the first. You can attain a black belt in the kick boxing in 2.

Believe it or not they were given to a local charity in bulk by Waitrose and the local charity could not find enough people to give them to. A friend of mine was tasked to get rid of the surplus to friends and family. He turned up with a car full
each come with a recipe book and a meat thermometer also

Thanks Tinky.
Put it this way. Yes plenty more Dan grades to aim for - it takes a lifetime really as the process of development never really stops. This belt took him 3 1/2 years and involved his own personal training of 4-6 hours per week plus teaching of at least that, officiating at competitions, gradings etc. as well as satisfying all the relevant technical performance elements. The next Dan grade will take him a minimum of 4-5 years to achieve and it gets harder as you progress.
What started as a way to help him with his fitness and self confidence really has turned into something far more than that. It's a massive part of his life now and I can't see him ever giving it up.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Christmas starts as soon as you've cleared up from the big dinner. I can now relax and enjoy it all. Time for a drink then 40 winks....
Though I ain't looking forward to the aftermath later on.....
