Green belt, baby!

The big news of the evening is that I got my green belt. Yay!

For those who didn't ask: there was no exam, so I don't know how I would have done on it. Good, I assume. Because I have a brown belt in another style, the sensei has allowed me to skip doing formal exams and instead just tells me when I can wear my next belt. He sort-of said that when two of my fellow orange belts got their green, I could wear mine as well. They passed last week (I couldn't go because of the metro strike... bah!). So now I'm green, too. Yay!

That's it for now. Sleep beckons.

That's great news, congratulations! I remember you showing up at the park last summer, and demonstrating your new moves to us.

What style are you training in? And what techniques are typically required for Green Belt?

My old dojo was Kyukushikai. The style I'm training in now is Chito Ryu. To get green belt, we need to know a number of katas and their applications, a series of pre-determined one-step sparring moves, some pre-determined chains of movements, etc.
