I've been a red belt for ever LOL (red is one rank below black .... high red is next). Well, 7 months to be exact hehehehe. I'm in no rush though.

blue in IKCA Chinese Kenpo. I used to be in a rush to rank, but have settled in and really started "realizing" some of the advanced concepts.

Purple belt (4th Kyu) JKA Shotokan.
Is it me or this is about the belt where most injuries happen? I think I've sprained my fingers and toes a countless number of times. Propably due to the fact that we're increasing speed and power.. ah well.. part of the game  |

Ericu ,it is normal for your grade to go through those injuries ,people in brown belt level are the most dangerous to do pair work with ! as you go pass that stage your Karate should begin to soften and your body relax more ,that doesen't mean your karate is getting weaker but rather ! stronger !
