Orange Belt
I'm sure I've seen a thread on this before, however I cant seem to find it. So I'm sorry if you've already answered this before.
I am currently a blue tag in kickboxing. In dec I intend to grade for my blue belt, which is the halfway point between white and black belt. I still see myself very much a beginner. I was in a cardio caless today when we were told to get a partner, and for the seniors to grab a lower belt. I automatically paired up with a 2nd dan. My Master the. Said to me "I think your more of a senior now." which took me by surprise, and even the 2nd dan said "Did you hear that? Sir just called you a senior." I was then put with a white belt to show him the ropes.
In my opinion, a senior is anyone with a higher rank than me, whether that's in kickboxing or TKD coz my Master teaches both, and many students cross train. I wouldn't class myself as a senior until I was black belt, maybe brown, but even black belts still have ALOT to learn!
When would you consider someone as a senior student?
