Well, I'm not a black belt yet. I am about to test for my brown belt sometime soon. My instructor has to talk to the head hancho guy (the one that oversees the testing) to see what date works. I'll find out this Wed.!

I'm a sixth dan under Ernie Reyes, Sr. and have black belt or instructor rankings in TKD, Hapkido, JJ, Escrima, Kenpo, and Muay Thai. It keeps me busy.

 

[Xue Sheng]

I bought a black leather belt from Wal-Mart once, does that count?

I am in CMA, no belt ranks but I was an advanced student of my Yang Style Sifu and an assistant teacher to my Sifu before that. However I do not know if that means I am the equivalent of a Black belt or not,

I voted black belt rank and intermediate rank.
I'm a samdan in WTF taekwondo and 6th geup in haidong gumdo.

 

[shihansmurf]

I have a godan in Shotokan, a 1st in EPAK, and Instructor certification in another Art that doesn't use rank.

I also have a few color belts in various systems. Yellow in TKD, Blue in Goju Ryo(5th Kyu), Orange in IKCA Kenpo. I also boxed but the only belts there were shiney and gold

I am currently preparing for an assessment in Han Foo Wa, Bill Shaw's freestyle martial arts.

P.S. I just noticed the thread necro. Its interesting the demographics here. I assume that people interested in martialarts to spend free time on chatting on a ma forum are into it enough that most would be advanced/black belt level. I find the 3% that don't do MA interesting. The study must be popular.

Considering when this thread was started, someone who took their first class the day it was started might well have earned their BB by now...

Good point. Sorta skews the poll a bit. Maybe we should do a new one asking how many have earned their BB since joining martial talk. Aside, of course, from the cool ones for post count.
