Grading success for Brown Flow

[YODA]

MAP member Brown Flow (Now renamed to Black Armour as a result) successfully graded in Shou Shu last week.... he had this to say...


I was tested for my black prep belt last thursday 04/29/04, its the level right before black belt... I don't learn new techniques but I do learn advance timing to become a black belt. The test consisted of every move i've ever learned from white belt to current (appx 125 moves).. there were 7 kata forms to do.. some fighting speed, some to demonstrate stances and strikes...
the test lasted 2hrs and was very demanding.. I prepped for this test for 2months trying to enhance my endurance and cardiovascular system for what was coming.. it paid off because even though it blew me away.. I came out on top.
Congrats!

Kudos to you B.A.!!!!

Also, thank you Yoda for acknowledging his achievement. It makes all of us proud to be not only a part of the Shou Shu "family" but the MAP family as well.

I had the opportunity to see one of the Black Preps preparing for his Black belt test, man, I thought the testing for the lower ranks was demanding. Brown belts have to culminate it all and at a very rapid pace and super high intensity (reallyyyyyyyy intense!!!). The closer they get to Black, the more demanding their physical and mental requirements are. Once they achieve Black, it is almost like they are starting all over again for their Beast material.


Salute to all martial artists who dedicate themselves to the degree of perfection that enables them to become the living legacies of those arts that are passed on down to them..
