At least they aren't....Mormon *Shudders*
Just kidding I have Mormon friends.
You mean the yearly rank thingy? Where everyone can get a rank up? I did some judo myself but didnt come any further then yellow belt and green stripe Since i was heavily injured that day xp what fight sport is it and what belt are you yourself?Its not a yearly rank up thing. You don't test until you're ready for the next rank. That could be a month, a year, several years, depending on the rank. We have a test once a month or so, sometimes there's more time in between tests, but never any less. You don't get put up to test each month, you get put up when the instructor says you're ready. Which means knowing all the required material for your rank, being good enough at it, and having a good attitude. You won't find eight year old 3rd degree black belts in our style. We don't have a lot of belts or stripes in our system like other ones. We only have two striped belts, blue with a green stripe and green with a brown stripe. Those are kind of like transition ranks getting you ready for your next big step. Green being an advanced rank, and brown of course, being close to black. The style I take is not a fighting sport, its a self defense style called Shaolin Shuan Fa. It originated in the Shaolin Temple over 2000 years ago, and is the style they still do there today. It is a practical art meant to teach a person how to protect themselves in all sorts of situations. We don't have fancy jumping spinning kicks, because you aren't going to be doing that kind of thing in a street fight. About 90 percent of our students are children, the other ten percent being adults. I am currently a first degree black belt with about ten years of experience in the art. I am no where near the top though, because there are ten degrees of black, with huge skill differences between each one.
I don't care about the arena and roleplay fighting capabilities. Its the real life stuff I care about. And its so wrong and impossible to do. You can't throw 100 punches in 10 seconds. You can't even throw that in a minute if you're looking for real, good, clean strikes. I haven't done this is a while, but I'm pretty sure fast, while still keeping technique and power and all that, is about 60-70 punches per minute and about half that for kicks.As awesome as the new character is, my martial arts nature makes me want to strangle you. His fighting style is so bullshit and impossible. Just...Just... AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!Baxton's Arena RP record is 41-0. :D (On another note, he's supposed to be a boss-style character, but I actually nerfed him a bit because some of his attacks were absolutely annoying. ie. Baxton automatically whirls an uppercut if you consecutively block five of his attacks, making it very hard to dodge the attack. I changed that thing to an ability, "Dread Lock," instead.)
