How I did it: I ordered my ticket at Metaltix.de over half a year before the festival, booked a flight from Tampere to Bremen, got a friend of mine to pick me up in Bremen and that's it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I signed up for a beginners' course of kombatan and trained once or twice a week for about four months. But that's of course just the beginning. Having the yellow belt means that I know now the very basics and am capable of learning more. This is going to be a hobby for years to come. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to a big festival in Germany and Nightwish was one of the performers there. There was not much else to do than to be in front of the main stage at the right time. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
I have the green belt now, which represents the second rank in kombatan. The third rank is also green (known as “green +1” or “upper green”) and the fourth one is blue. So I need to gain one more rank before I can go for the blue belt, which means that completing this goal is going to take some time, presumably 6-12 months, depending on how often I train.
I just decided that I’m going to do this during the Christmas holidays. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it with a couple of good friends.
