An update:

Tonight we were working out for class and sensei pulled me off to the side and said that he had changed my paperwork one more time after doing some thinking and I'm now an ikkyu and will be testing for shodan in the spring. Suprised the hell out of me.

Congratulations BigNick! What do you have to do for your shodan? Is there a competition requirement in your judo school?

The black belt will be in jujutsu, and I don't really know...I know what the vocabulary and some of the requirements will be...but he doesn't always stick just to those, or even to them at all...

It should be interesting to say the least...

That's pretty close! Spring is nearly here.... How's your progress?

I sent Slippery_Pete on a reconnaissance mission, it sounds like I'll be taking my black belt exam on April 27th. We'll keep you posted.

Cool! You are beating me to it by about two weeks.
