Congratulations Sensei!

I recently got my 1st dan in Okinawan Kenpo karate. The testing wasn't nearly as grueling as yours sounds though. A group of us tested in the space of 3 hours. But there was a lot of training and stressing out leading up to it Smile | :)

We call black belts Sensei as well. The reasoning behind this is that once you have achieved black belt status, you are essentially a teacher even if you don't formally teach. Every other kyu rank student looks up to you and learns from you. A bit of a daunting thought, if you ask me!

Are you planning on going for 2nd dan?
