How to turn a white belt into a black belt?

[MartialArtist666]

Hi I've started training in Karate and had to buy a white belt. I like the color black though, how do I turn my white belt into a black belt?

 

[Blindside]

Rit dye is quick and easy.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Lots of training.

You can't really turn it into a black one.

They'll make you do some stuff, then, when you can do the stuff the way they like, they'll either give you a whole new belt or put some tape stripes onto the white belt you got. Either way they'll make you do some more, other stuff, as well as make you do the first stuff over and over again, then, when they're happy with all that stuff, they'll give you another stripe....or another belt. They'll keep doing this. It can drive you crazy.

Welcome to MartialTalk, by the way.

You want to turn the belt you purchased into a black belt...dye it.
You want to develop black belt skills thereby attaining a black belt in Karate...train/practice as much as you can with an open humbly attitude, help others better their skills, and it will happen...in time. Enjoy the journey.

All the good black belts I know are still white belts.

In all seriousness, belt colors are earned through your particular school/style/organization and represent a certain level of knowledge and skill.

Some schools may have looser requirements as to acceptable uniform (gi) colors, but never letting students pick a belt color.

You guys know we're getting trolled, right? I mean really.

Several years of training is the usual recipe.

Yes. I'm just waiting to see what the follow-up is.

How about several days and a couple thousand dollars?
I would need a certificate stating how awesome I am as well, though.

If we know the intent of the OP and don't take it seriously (as most of us haven't) are we still being trolled?

See for me personally, dyeing belts can be a messy business, so my advice would be to sneak up behind someone with a black belt already, and take it from them. If they see you just use the good ol' "look over there" ploy. If it works and you get the belt, you have earned the right to wear it

Hence the serious replies.

Lots of training.

I suppose that could work over time if the belt gets dirty enough from the training but as Blindside mentioned, dyeing the belt is much quicker and much easier.
