 		The Ogami Itto Show.

Is it true that everything I learned about aikido I learned from watching six movies of Ogami Itto, aka, "Lone Wolf and Cub"?

The Third Kyu test recognizes the nominee has persevered in training, has mastered the basic movements, and is moving into the deeper waters of the white belt/kyu level world. Able to help the newest students, or conduct a class, the candidate is still in the process of formation, and many techniques are still new. However, at this stage, a solid core has formed, and many tests of other sorts have been passed. Still tucked safely into the white belt zone, a sense of moving upward and into the deeper mysteries of aikido is tickling the edges of developing and larger picture of aikido. Minimum of 80 days since the forth kyu test. At least one seminar in another dojo in the past 12 months.
