Sandan
At this time I am a nidan, and my understanding of sandan is yet unrealized.  The following requirements are the standards I have set for my own requirements for sandan.  The sensei who tests me will have their own set of requirements that I will need to fulfill as well.  My or the sensei's requirements may be appropriate or not.  In any event I see it like this; "A warrior does what can be done until destiny is revealed."
