TMAN: You really are a 15th Degree Black Belt?
DE: Yes, as you can see, it says so on this belt, here, look, 15 gold stripes.
TMAN: That is one big achievement, and probably the highest Black Belt grade ever, how many years has it taken to reach such a high grade?
DE: Oh, I have worked hard for this over the past 10 years, working my socks off at least twice a week, I have sweated blood to get this belt
TMAN: 10 years?
DE: Amazing eh? So many people give up after a couple of years, but you really have to stick at it if you want to get to the top
TMAN: So, what style do you practise?
DE: Style?
TMAN: Yes, is it Shotokan, or maybe Wado Ryu? Readers would love to know what it is you practise
DE: Oh, right, yeah, well, I practise with style twice a week, at least 2 weeks every month, unless I am a little under the weather, or it is a bit hot. I don't like it too cold either, you have to keep in shape, and too hot or cold is not good for you.
TMAN: Practise what style exactly?
DE: Oh, this and that. I do a lot of moves, a bit of up and down the hall, line work I think they call it. And I do some running as well. I hope to open my own clubs soon. But I do everything with style!
TMAN: Teaching what?
DE: My moves of course! People will be queueing up to train with the world's only 15th degree black belt. I'll make a load of dosh charging them to train with me, on a monthly direct debit, makes collecting the cash a lot easier.
TMAN: Yes, but you are not really explaining what the 'moves' are, or what martial art you are actually a 15th degree in!
DE: Oh, right, these are the moves (gets up and does some 'moves'), and this is the style I practise, (same moves demonstrated with some extra 'embellishments').
TMAN; Well, I am speechless
DE: Amazing eh?
TMAN: Truly amazing........So who actually awarded you the 15th degree belt?
DE: Awarded? I treated myself to it, bought it online and got it embroidered, great design isn't it? I love the 15 gold stripes, makes me look the part.
TMAN: You bought it? So, are you a 15th degree or not?
DE: Of course I am, look, it says so on this piece of paper, Dan Edgar, 15th Degree. It is amazing what you can do through vista print nowadays eh?
TMAN: You mean you bought the certificate yourself?
DE: Well, duh, yeah, what did you think? I stole it?
TMAN: Again, I am speechless
DE: Struck dumb by my awesomeness, it is understandable, so many are, and so many will be when I open my clubs and get them through the doors training my system and wearing my club gear...
Well, there you have it. Part 2 is equally awe inspiring, so book mark us for that!
