1st Black Belt Part A - buy this level
The 1st Dan Black Belt contains two katas; Palisai and Gojushiho. Palisai means, "motions of the Butterfly" and represents the transition the butterfly must go through to finally reach a state of beauty and freedom from the cocoon that confined it. This is very similar to the amazing transition a student goes through from White Belt to Black Belt, the state of perceived perfection. Gojushiho means, "54 Steps of the Black Tiger", and is characterized by low, strong stances. Achieving black belt is not the end; it is not the ultimate goal. The objective of martial arts, rather, is to embrace the journey and stay the path.
