This is literally my reaction every time I pass any large exam or test, they might have passed me, but I sure didnt. You just always feel like you know and are able of so much more, and not being able to show it just sucks, even if what you did was "enough".

@@SenseiSeth I think that this comment is part of why you passed. You know you could do better, you know you could have explained things better, you know you learned so much more than what was used for the test. But like your dad says, he also knows before the test happens if he will pass you. He can tell if a mistake is from lack of skill, or from nerves. He knows you (and the others) likely know more than what their stressed test-mode minds put on display. So while you might think they dont realize you did so much worse than you were expecting to, they know that the fact your there shows that you do infact know what you need to. Congrats man.

Imposter syndrome is powerful. I got to purple belt in BJJ, had to quit for a few years, then to switch to a new school in a new city and I felt OUTCLASSED by the monsters that were in that new school. The bravery it takes to accept you aren't where you thought you were, but to keep pressing on is commendable. Sometimes you just need to keep pressing forward. Good luck to everyone out there on your own journey.

I was given an orange belt 15 years ago after my first grading. I think it was a double grading but the certificate seems to say otherwise. Either way my new school says I can wear the belt as I've earned it. However their ranking system places orange as a second belt. I've felt like an imposter for a while until Sensei said I performed a good kata for my yellow belt. It's humbling returning to a martial arts you've had a break from. But I've come back with a lot more focus and determination than before. The imposter feeling has driven me to catch up fast. Also, I cannot let my son overtake me! 😂

This was one of the more close-to-home videos you've made and it's absolutely brilliant. Great job and congratulations. Always keep the white-belt-mindset and see yourself as a beginner. Learning comes much easier then. If, at some stage, you end up doing grading for your purple belt in BJJ, you should share that experience. I think it's one of the more eye-opening things when it comes to belts and martial arts.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video! Aside from the congratulations you've earned for your 4th-degree black belt, you keeping it real throughout the whole process makes it that much more appealing and satisfying. It also inspires me to make sure that, whether I test or otherwise, I stay on top of my game, as an instructor. Your dad put it best (paraphrasing): "I can tell when someone's undergoing stress and when someone doesn't know." Or, as others put in the comments, "Your instructor will always know before you if you're ready for your next rank."

I just got 3rd, and this video perfectly reflected my feelings and mental space in the 2 months leading up to the test. The mental and physical exhaustion of preparing, the self doubt. The forms, self defense, 1-steps, demonstrating all the crazy kicks and strikes, and almost throwing up in my last round of sparring. Mentally beating myself up over the little mistakes made because of nerves. Though relieved once the judges announced we passed, I still felt I could've and should've done better. I think it's natural for martial artists to be their own worst critic. We must never stop striving for perfection. It's how we grow. Before the test, I was the best 2nd degree I'd ever be, and after, I became the worst 3rd degree I'd ever be. Worst 3rd me could comfortably look back on worst 2nd me and go "Pft, amateur. I could teach that guy a thing or two". That's what's most important.

My father took over my Shotokan school fairly early on in my training, when our head instructor and family friend had to move away. My father ran the school for close to 20 years as a Shodan (first degree). We were pretty isolated and didn't have the ability to go higher. Eventually our head instructor reached out to my father and said it has been long enough, it's time to test for your 2nd degree. After a tough hour of testing it was time for my father (50 something at the time) to go through the sparing gauntlet. He was exhausted but he made it to the last guy. The last guy was me, a 1st blackbelt under both the head instructor and my father. We sparred hard, he was tired and almost done. The head instructor stopped us for a moment and pulled me aside. He said "I need you to turn in it up and go hard" and I said okay. We went at it again. My father was battered and bruised and almost done. I saw the head instructor over my dad's shoulder, he looked me in the eye and nodded. I knew what he meant. I have never seen my father in the state that he was in. Here he was, the man who raised me, a man I love, standing before me almost defeated. I almost couldn't do it, but I did. For he next 2 or 3 min I cranked it up and laid into him. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. As soon as the round was over, I broke down, we had a big hug in the middle of the dojo he was awarded his 2nd degree black belt. Seeing the brown belt in this video going through it, and listening to you talk about your father brought back all these memories. Thank you!

I finally got to watch this with my son and it may very well be the best video you've ever made. Wow.

Congratulations, Sensei Seth! I've recently started karate last year, and watching your videos is inspiring. I love on this video that you are humble & not content with your martial arts journey despite achieving master status. Oss. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Congratulations, Seth! From what I’ve seen on your channel and in this video, I’d say the promotion is well deserved. The “Master” thing is definitely hard to get used to. Ultimately, it’s the title that accompanies the rank. There’s always more to learn and perfect, even as we pass on our knowledge to the next generation. Perhaps true mastery is the realization that the journey of learning never truly ends. Congratulations again.

Congratulations man! Been watching your journey for the last few years. It's definitely both a humbling and relieving experience when you finish. I tested for my 4th in ITF back in 2012 and was a pool of sweat. Next year my master wants our group to test in Korea so thats going to be doubly nerve racking!

Congratulations on passing, what you felt after is natural, when you're so passionate about something but don't feel like you did your best when it counts just proves that you deserved that belt even more, but this video did give me made anxiety, I've been doing karate 19 years and am a 3rd degree black belt and this gave me anxiety about going for my 4th lol

Hey, congratulations. You have a lot of humility, that is a key feature in a master. You can only continue to grow as you continue to practice.

It's an incredible achievement, you should be very proud. There is always an anticlimax after a grading and the feeling of " do I deserve it" but you've clearly earned it. Well done.

I'm about to test for my black belt and your mention of "I've been tired before" and zoning in on what you have to do despite everything you're feeling is something that resonated with me and something I'll keep in my heart when I do take my test, Congratulations Sensei Seth and thank you
