An interesting note: According to the sensei at a Steven Seagal (Taka sensei) dojo I visited, Taka sensei requires that any yudansha that didn't get his shodan from him retake that test before being allowed to wear their black belt at a Seagal dojo. By the way I saw Seagal sensei's Path Beyond Thought video and once more was astounded by the man's speed and ability. I could have done without all the comments by his students though, they took up video time which could have been used to show more of Seagal in action.
