  • @elvisworldwide Dan Grades

    These grades goes from 1st Dan (Shodan) to 8th Dan (Hachidan). These are the adult grades and will take a lifetime to progress though. The minimum time anyone can take to go from Shodan to Hachidan is 36 years. However this would require not failing a single grade! For perspective, the pass rate for hachidan exams is commonly less than 0.1% More good news for you! Elvis studied 19 years right? oh that's a shortfall of.... oh 17 years....

  • @donn409 It absolutely does, I agree! My whole excursion into Elvis' karate abilities started because I wanted to do a compliation vid of celebrities that do martial arts and martial artists that became mainstream celebrities. I wanted to show these people in action, but the only stuff I could find for Elvis was less than flattering, and it really raised some questions for me, considering how long he studied. Somewhere there must be some GREAT film of him hidden away, but I haven't seen it yet.

  • That could make a style of Karate called Elvis Ryu. It would be compulsory for everyone to have a big black quiff and to wear the Elvis suit instead of the Gi. Instead of Ki-ai they could shout "uh huh"

  • @donn409 Too right mate.

  • @omurchu12 We'll both do fine because we're fighters.

  • @omurchu12 Thank you for your kindness. I know everyone who comes in contact with you will have their lives enriched for the better.

  • @donn409 Man that was bad - I can in some small way relate,we nearly lost our language/culture and were harshly ruled for over 800 years. But they didn't defeat you guys no more than they did us and that's all that matters - so heads up - look them in the eye - and remember they put their pants one leg at a time like the rest of us. You beat them by earning it - They can never deny ability, that's how I do it mate. You'll do fine.

  • @donn409 If I'm lucky - I will, all I can do for certain is master what I'm taught, earn my grades and respect of my teachers and fellow students and If I end up doing some instructing, try and pass that on - I wish you the best with your health and your college.

  • @omurchu12 You also inspire others to be the best that they can be.

  • @omurchu12 Nobody is perfect, even ELVIS. He was the first to admit it to.

  • @donn409 Well I certainly won't deny that, mate.
