Hello, Many find a 5 year old is too young for a Black Belt?
What is a good age to give a Black Belt?
What makes a Black belt?
Who deserves a Black belt?
Joe Lewis earn his Black Belt is less than 8 Months (I believe it was less than that?) ...in Okinawa ...he kept beating all the Black belts in class...Sensi said ..you are equal to a Black belt!
NO official rules or regulations and or standards equal for all....
Just each systems and schools "make" there own rules on this..
We seen 60 years old and up be promoted to Black Belts (women and men)? ...easy to meet the minumun requirements...yet on the streets? They may not survive...
Aloha, ....sure there are many over 60 years that is stronger and faster...we are talking about the general populatons...not the top 20%..
PS: ...today with Black Belts is slowly losing it meaning....once when reach this level...was consider a great fighter and defender...look around...is this still true..
also defining its meaning..will be a personal one..of one beliefs too...
Is a Black Belt a technical school base or should a Black Belt be a physcial base for promotions?
