About Me
- Ally
- Alistair has been training in the martial arts for the last 21 years. He has trained with many different instructors and practiced many forms of martial art, however the majority of his training has been in the style of Wado Ryu Karate He has trained with Yoshi Shinorarah, Shingo Ohgami, and Simon Kidd and has achieved much in his martial arts. Alistair is the first to admit that he still has a long way to go in his personal karate career. "The martial arts are full of 'masters' who have spent a lifetime learning their skills. The sign of a true master is to acknowledge that no matter how much you know there is still a lot more to learn. I hope that I never stop learning, because when I do then there will be no point in continuing my karate. "I enjoy most aspects of karate. I don't have any favourite techniques as such - I enjoy them all! I enjoy the weapons training aspect of karate, especially use of the Nunchuku." Alistair intends to continue his lifetime pursuit of excellence in karate, and would welcome some company on the way.

How long should it take to get a black belt?
Personally I think this depends on each and every individual, everybody is different so therefore how can we expect everybody to achieve a black belt within the same or minimum amount of time.
For example somebody that trains for one hour a week within in the same club for 5 years would not be as experienced as somebody who trains everyday for 3 years. In my opinion I think that to achieve a black belt grade a students full experience should be considered. A blackbelt should have shown a serious commitment not only to their club but also by participating in courses run by different clubs and senseis. Entering competitions also increases a students experience as does teaching other students.
For me achieving a black belt in wado ryu is not just about working through a syllabus, its about gaining all these experiences and building on them to develop a greater understanding of martial arts.
I also think that its important to understand that a black belt grade is just the beginning, its a milestone that is accepted by other martial artists that you have reached an acceptable standard and have demonstrated a basic level of commitment. It is from this grade on that the real learning begins as you not only have the opportunity to practise but also develop the techniques that were introduced by the grandmasters. It also becomes your responsibility to teach new students, maintain high standards and ensure that the traditional elements of martial arts do not become lost in the commercialism of society today.
To get a black belt in wado ryu karate or any other martial art should not be thought about to much. The only thing is you see a black belt as just a belt, when you acheive black belt standard. When you start seeing it as just a blet then youre ready for youre black belt. For some its 5 years, for others ten. Just keep up the training and youre on your way there
