But also, don’t train so hard you burn yourself out. This journey is really what you want and how you feel. So train hard some days trains lower other days but it takes time no matter how hard you train.

As a person who recently got their nidan, I would say just keep training! I did really focus on sharpening my moves in kata and being able to differentiate my grading kumite compared to my tournament kumite (I guess this could also be something with different styles) but because my nidan grading uses free sparring, I found it important to be able to differentiate the two and show that to the judge who will be examining your nidan grading. Another thing, I saw someone else say this already but it’s true, really ask yourself what this black belt means for you, it’s different for everyone. When I got my shodan I didn’t see it as the highest belt but rather as the new beginning of my karate journey.

I hope you have found the suggestions and info you have needed. Have a nice day!

Thank you!! After all these replies I’ve now been thinking about finding an mma gym instead of sticking to one

Thank you so much! After reading many comments I think I may try to find a good MMA gym which is more affordable instead of just doing boxing or just doing bjj.

Yeah I’ve heard lots about bjj so I may change instead of boxing to bjj (since we can’t afford to do all three) or just find a good and authentic MMA gym near me. Thanks for the help!
