Question when we are training this way do we get belt level and if so how do we go about it?

could someone help asking for a password

Dear Community Members, Just would like to express the fact that belt/sash colour does not reflect true skill level unless you keep up with your training! I can assure you all that skills (of any type) diminish over time, if you don’t keep up with your training to keep those skills for survival purposes! As a purple belt, I have been through plateaus and even dips in skills and I must be honest that it takes hard work and dedication to keep your skills. In class, I have found class members (especially the ones from a younger generation), to be intimidated by not me but by my belt colour. Ladies and gentleman, if you are a white belt who practices your skills daily (or often) and are motivated to reach new heights, you will surely be better than the purple belt who doesn’t train when they are not in a classroom setting. Another thing I would like to iterate is the fact that there are merits in training with practitioners who are better skilled than you , as well as those who are not as skilled as you. Training with lower skilled practitioners help you test your state/martial skill and training with higher skilled practitioners help you develop your state/martial skill. Every time that I get to train with @Sifu John Cogan , I jump at the opportunity because I can train and develop my state and martial skill. I have the same feeling when it comes to training with white and blue belts as doing so can allow me to experiment using my state against them. Please remember the following: TRAINING WITH BETTER SKILLED OR LOWER SKILLED PRACTITIONERS HELP YOUR OWN SKILLS AS WELL AS ‘THEIRS’. BOTH TYPES OF LEVELS PLAY HUGE ROLES IN YOUR SKILL DEVELOPMENT. Training everyday is a must and I know some members here may feel that they have no time or whatever excuse they may have. Training in martial arts is like having learnt a new foreign language, it takes time to develop to proficiency. Even at a level of proficiency, you need to keep refining your skills by using it daily.

Sounding out all the One Tao Family and Kung Fu Crew!! These few weeks have been a totem of change in my life, through a quick and constant acceleration of opportunity. I started teaching at a new yoga studio at the end of last month. These classes are building up in tandem with T’ai Chi & Wing Chun teaching and instruction more and more each day. As such, I have simply not recently had the time and energy to interact with these beloved online communities, as much as I am used to. Now, I am beginning to readjust, and return to a full paced existence, and feel friggin’ honored to be immersed deeply within so many exciting endeavors. I feel even more blessed to be surrounded by an increasingly large clan and community of talented and focused individuals who test my abilities, and support my drive in every aspect of my life. Much love, respect, and appreciation to those of you who show up for yourselves, and each other, everyday 🙌🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽 You are all the inspiration within inspiration that shines from deep within us all💫 It is within this vestige of commitment and camaraderie that I dedicate this 90 day challenge not only to constant peaceful power…but also the opportunity of acceptance; and the acceptance of opportunity. I feel I’m closely on the precipice of surfing in symbiosis with the true balance of “letting go,” and once again allowing my full power of life’s vitality back within.🔥 “Don't let life pass you by as you shrink back. Don't let passivity create a mummy-like, survival-type existence for you. Find people who want to help you enter the world, encourage you to take action, and support your attempts to regain the opportunity in your life and relationships.“ ~ Henry Cloud

I just finished watching and practicing the stance exercises and the guard exercises and I feel pretty confident I understand the positions to maintain the triangle, but I did them without a partner and even though I’m pretty confident I know it, I’ll need Sifu to see whether I’m doing it correctly or not 🙏🏿
