      Not at all

      I host my instructors day job website and I've mentioned a few times that emails might just stop.

      However he has just beasted me for even suggesting such things !

        So that's how you got your black belt, hmm maybe I should try that when I start doing Aikido again.

          hard work and dedication.

          In order to take black belt you need to have taken a good few number of classes, some of the brown/white, brown/black haven't and are likely to fall down on that side.

            Zeity is bored. (now)
            RC has succumbed to those gold adverts on daytime tv and is selling his missus' gold
            Fivetimes is fiddling with code and is none too happy
            and MF's interview secrets are all to do with offering sexual favours to his interviewers
            Didn't have the chance to get really bored.

            An esteemed customer turned up & we've made 4 new pcbs for his project.

            Keen or what? (It was end of term last Friday).

              They clubbed you with it from behind in the carpark?

                  A friend of mine is now second dan, and when she used to train it was 3 3 hour sessions a week, and an all day session once a month I think she got her black belt in 3-4 years. They were quite tough at grading.

                  I haven't found anywhere locally that does the same version of aikido I used to do or isn't headed up by some wannabe ninja nutter.

                      I'm thinking of suggesting we have a training camp next year - weekend away working on certain techniques followed by some booze
