Nah not a black belt yet, I have enough under my belt to be a black belt, however I work out with my teacher for the most part 1 on 1 and most of my testing is done by another guy who I also work with but is from out of state. Pretty much I dont give a damn about belts I know what I know.
We do everything JJ guys do, however I also do the take downs, throws, chokes, breaks, we also hit with most any part of the body, from fingers, chin, side of arm, bicips, you name it.
Pretty much we cover anything and everything. and again for the most part I do nothing but 1 on 1 training =)
Fun stuff. Am I the best? hell no. however I've praticed with other local schools and their black belts reminded me of myself years and years ago. pretty sad stuff.
I was bitching to B last night about not having my certificates straight. all of my rankings come straight from japan signed and stamped by Kinjo Hiroshi. pretty much my certificates are like having a dregree from a major college in the US. I can take them anywhere I go in life and they will be valid in any country, unlike a lot of martial arts schools.... wow I just got ranked as a green belt by Mr Lees karate dragons. yay!.... junk. lots of schools are like that. you take your belt with you else where and they look at you have no idea wtf you're doing =)
As always it's fun stuff. Just today we were working on a ground waza pretty much a take down then all the ground chokes/submissions. one after another after another I believe there's 75 total moves in this one single waza.
