Audi, Your description of your experience is right on the mark compared to my own recent ranking experience. Also, I agree with your remarks about the martial aspect of TCC. This is a gradual training which apparently takes years to accomplish. I have seen a few "hard core" martial artists...

Thanks Pamela!!

I look forward to the time when I can begin to understand the "deeper" stuff people refer to in TCC. For now, I will continue to practice, practice, practice!

Hello all!!! I just wanted to post this follow-up. I was "lucky" enough to pass the Level 1 Beginner ranking in June. After all of the hard work and excitement, I never got back to you all...my apologies. First, Pamela had it quite right when she asked the question about remaining "su...

Hi Kal and thank you very much!! This is what I was looking for. I read this about a year ago when I first found the website but did not remember it! I do remember being excited about hearing Master YZD audio clip on the website, even though I have not met him. I only became a member this last winte...

Hi Bob, I expect to take the test in Detroit area, second weekend of June for Level 1. I agree with you that it seems people are reluctant to discuss this form evaluation and ranking. I have been told "don't worry about it, you will do fine" and not a lot more. However, my nature is to wor...

Can anyone inform me how the scoring works for ranking? I see from the website that there are separate scoring for the form demonstration and the theory test. Is the theory test written or oral or both? I guess I am trying to figure out how many "screw ups" I can achieve and still pass the...
