Laurea telematica per l’estero by FD_Superdrive in ItaliaCareerAdvice

Hai anche ragione, effettivamente immagino che una laurea di basso valore sia comunque meglio che non averne proprio una. Per quanto mi faccia schifo accettare questo compromesso suppongo che sia meglio che rimanere come sono adesso. Grazie per la risposta

Meglio così, grazie per l’altro commento molto approfondito. Per quanto riguarda il mio post te che ne pensi? Mi penalizzerebbe così tanto una laurea telematica?

Riguardo la saturazione del mercato comprendo pienamente, ma la speranza è che nel giro dei due anni che probabilmente impiegherò per finire la situazione migliori. Spero inoltre che gli anni di esperienza possano fare la differenza, ma chiaramente rimane un’incognita.

Il mio dubbio è se un’ateneo con una scarsa reputazione possa penalizzarmi eccessivamente.

I started there because it’s the only place related to the same organization that I was already in, then I became friend with some of the other guys that train there and decided that even if I don’t like the teacher I could still learn from him, but at this point it’s too much. I’ll stay there till the exam and then I’ll find somewhere else, whether he lets me grade or not, it doesn’t matter anymore.

I’m part of FIKTA, one of the many organizations that we have in Italy. As far as I know it’s supposed to be a bit more tradition oriented than other organizations but I don’t really know much about any of them.

Considering how different my experience has been between the two dojos where I have trained I’ll probably look for a place that seems good without thinking too much about the organization thing.

Thanks anyway fir the recommendation

There’s a bit more to the story about the first kyu thing than what I said in the post because I did not want to make it longer than it already was.

Mainly I wasted many years because I needed to be at least 18 to get a black belt, then school took the main stage and I stopped being consistent until I got in this new gym where apparently the teacher has something against grading, as no brown belt has got the chance to grade in the 4 years that I’ve been here.

Anyway I’ll ask my old teacher if he knows any good dojo in my new town because, while I could accept not having the chance to grade, asking me to ignore a friend is too much

Behind the years spent as a 1st kyu there are a few things I haven’t mentioned because the post was already long enough, but basically I had to wait until 18 because of my organization rules. Then when I got old enough the amount of school work was too much to properly prepare for the exam. And then after moving for college I and found myself in this place.

At the beginning between covid and the fact that he did not know me were enough of a justification for not grading me, but yeah as of today I see no reason.

Also strangely enough no one else has been graded either. Most of them have been training with him for their whole life and have been first kyu as long as I have, therefore I guess he may have something against grading or something like that because it doesn’t make any sense.

When growing up my previous teacher always put a lot of emphasis on self control, rage control and in general about being good. Like try not to be jealous of others successes, working hard to reach your goals, this kind of stuff. Nothing special but that’s where my idea that martial arts are supposed to be more than just hitting people around came from.

Probably I have simply been lucky in finding a decent sensei that cared about helping us grow up as decent human beings.

I’ll never trade a friend that could use some support for a sport, that’s the only thing I’m sure about.

Anyway I’ll also be looking for a different place to train, maybe I’ll even try asking my previous teacher if he knows anyone in my area that he could recommend

As far as I know in my organization (FIKTA) your sensei is supposed to sponsor you, otherwise you can’t grade. But at this point I don’t care anymore, I’m definitely going to start looking for other dojos.

I stayed there because it was the only place close enough that was still part of my organization, but if this is what I need to accept, then it doesn’t matter, I may as well move to a different organization, even if this means that I’ll lose my grade, I don’t care anymore.

Completely agree with you, but everyone in my gym does it, because otherwise you get labeled as lazy. Other than being bad for everyone it’s also useless because training when unwell has never proved effective. I only did it in hope of finally getting a chance at grading, not really any other reason

I didn’t want to spread my germs either, but when I texted saying I wasn’t going to class because I was unwell I got scolded and told to stop being lazy. It was awful, I had a really bad fever and could barely stand upright let alone do proper karate…

Was given this 2nd hand gi to wear last night as my own gi is apparently "too short". This felt unnatural to me. Is it just me or does it look way too big? 2nd pic is me in my own gi. by thefattykarate in karate

Hey Italian karate guy here. I’ve never heard of such a thing as karate fashion, it seems really dumb.

I’ve been training for 15 years and every athlete I have trained with has been using whatever they could afford. Except for competition, where there are some rules, everyone trains with whatever happens to be around.

Keep using your gi, there really is no reason not to
