Titles

Everyone has some sort of title. This is true in martial arts too. Now there's plenty of titles out their, and I actually have one, but I don't really use it.

It probably comes with me dealing with all the testing I did back in 07. After the kicking of my ass had concluded and the menjo (certificate) was presented I was still the same guy I was before. So, titles aren't that important to me.

Sure, some titles are definitely worth attaining. Things like 'high school graduate'. It can work like a bit of professional or social short-hand. Taken too far though and it just becomes bragging.

So, my titles? I'm a black belt, and a sensei. Sure I've got higher rank and title than that, but the ones I listed are all I need.
