Today is a good day.I've passed the test and have been promoted to Ikkyu.
The promotion ceremoney consists of formally recieving the certificate and a belt tying ceremony. For Sankyu and below, there is a belt tying ceremony. As for Nikyu, two strips of red tape are added to the brown belt. For Ikkyu, a piece of tape removed. I have to say, the tape thing is a bit cheesy. I suppose this is still better than some dojos, where the students have their mark/stripe drawn on.
I have to say, I am suprised. There was only one black belt canidate this time. Well, Matt passed. So, that was great for him. And as for the other four, they also passed. Selena, unfortunately had to do Wanshu three times in order to satisfy the judges. There certainly were a lot of other folks who went up for their next belt. I think it was about 35 people from three dojos. The other people passed too.
