I got nidan eight or nine months after shodan, and I did not feel it. Not even a little. So I tried to train my way into deserving it, and my back went out. This week's video is about what's actually supposed to change between shodan and nidan, and why trying harder wasn't it.
I get into why shodan really means "beginner," what I look for in students at each rank, and why the next step asks you to give up your good habits along with your bad ones.
