    Passed my sword test last week! I get my diploma Thursday. :D Ichimonji rank. :hat:

    ETA: Also took a Toyama Ryu iaito test the same evening, and am pretty sure I'll get a menjo for that as well. :)

    For those who don't know, Shinkendo and iaito arts don't use a belt system, but menjos are given out. It's kind of weird because you couldn't tell a person's rank unless you asked, but it works. :)

    Congrats! Do you know if there's any significance to calling the rank ichimonji (that is, the "一" kanji)?

    No, I just know that it's the first possible belt level in shinkendo. I forgot to mention in the OP that I also tested in Toyama Ryu iaito, and I'm quite sure I passed that test as well. :hat:

    Nice work! :D Are you able to start working on the material for your next grading straight away, or does your class have some kind of break from doing syllabus work after gradings?

    Thanks!
    We get started right away. I've already been taught some of the things that will be on the next test, in fact. :) All my exams are comprehensive, so at my next grading I'll have to do everything on the 2nd kyu syllabus and do the 1st kyu syllabus better. :eek: :cool:
