That's amazing. Respect.

Quality over quantity

+James Warner 4 years from white to black is normal and reasonable. You can complain about the quality of black belts they were producing, that's fine, nobody's saying belt factories don't exist, but 4 years is pretty standard for 1st black.

Especially if u dedicate yourself for the last 1 year from shodan ho to shodan, it's reasonable

I feel like you shouldn't award belts for how old you are it should be for how skilled you are. Because Different belt ranks are simply a teaching tool. besides that their only other use is keeping your pants up.

+UDK Dehumanized I agree with what you have said to a certain extent but u believe no one should be a black belt with out at least 4 years training 3 days a week minimum and being at least 14 years old to have force and power behind each technique

+reshi pn I would say that a black belt should be more than just being able to control skill, but you should have finished puberty, and have a fair amount of mental development that typically only comes with time. This is typical because a small man pass puberty will be stronger than a young boy who is still going through puberty.

A year later..... I believe a black belt is just the beginning. You've earned the right to master the true depths of the art as well as teach those who are learning the basics. Basically all youve done is practiced the basics well. Now, bring all aspects of the game together and master your art everyday sharpen your iron and fine tune the technique to your body and mind. Age and strength don't make you a black belt. But the constant fine tuning that has no limit or standard to your progression. A person can master a kick in a day if his mind and soul are up to it. But the art of fighting is a lifetime dance that will never be mastered by man.

Cj Reay this is really late but the video said he trained for 9.5 Years

+Lucas silva vieira i understand you entirely. one of the few worst decisions i've made😔

im actually still on it q:

started wada ryu at 14 was 4 years in and only a purple belt, but i loved it the discipline, the friendship and family. Sadly turning 18 to much party's and drink and work i never went back :( .... one of many life choices i really fucked up at 32 now i would give my right arm to be in that family

Penny Kaye I feel you man

Definitely, 3+ years and a Purple belt. Loved the exercise, discipline, and self defense abilities

well sparring you want to wear a helmet, you dont condition yourself while testing, you condition yourself in parctice, trust me, if you didnt wear gear, you would be severly hurt, because these are other martial artist who can seriously hurt you if a mistake is made, hence the helmet and slight armour, if you were take a blow to the head from like a second degree black belt, you would have some issues, and in like all street fights and actually fights, it probably wont be against martial artist due to their self restrant, so yeah you need helmets in sparring

Nah, dude, the only reason the sparring wasn't good was because it was his 6th hour.

I think they should lose points for wearing those boxing gloves while hitting pads. The whole purpose is hitting and kicking pads and bags is for conditioning. When you wear heavy gloves and feetpads, then it just defeats that purpose.

Beas7ie I disagree. While conditioning is one aspect, it's also about accuracy. Wearing gloves is completely okay as well. When my instructor tells us to glove up for pads, I rock my 2 lb boxing gloves. The extra weight is meant for hand speed.

Harte to Heart that makes sense, the first time you get punched is mind blowing, and if you keep getting punched you'll be a tank

By my estaminet he will be a second degree by 14 or 15 if he does it alot

yep that guy must have so much discipline

Hello Sir its not that bad at 13 year old most people are fully conscious and understand plus if you start at a young age like i did at 7 by 14 you should be a black belt

Is not that you aren't conscious, at 13. There's a level of responsibility that comes with the rank that many if not most 13 year olds can't handle. I'm not saying you can't, just that in my experience that has been the case and I think many in the martial arts industry agree which is why most schools don't offer black belts to kids under a certain age. My old school it was 16, some that I've visited its 15 or 18. The place I train now does allow youth to test for black belt but there is a youth curriculum and belt and they have to retest at 16 to the adult standard. All that said there are exceptions to the rules. My little cousin was about 13 when she tested for her black belt, passed and she totally deserved it. She also was mature enough to handle that weight of responsibility, so if you are like her, then good for you, and keep doing what you do. The world needs more mature 13 year olds. I work in an industry where we hire a lot of young people right after they graduate from college, and most of them are not as mature as my little cousin was when she was 13. When you get to that age you'll be an example and will go far. Keep training.

Hello yes, i Agree with you, and based on my experience when i first started doing Karate under Japanesse teacing Joshimon Shorin Ryu and belts took a year for you to be able to test, for example from white to the next belt a year passed by the time i was 8 i had my yellow belt, and i had to work so hard and run so many kilometers and do so many push ups plus many zuki combinations ETC that i was so proud. and not like here in usa my little cousin in a year is already a Blue belt.. but that vary from school to school.. if you can please subscribe to my channel i will value any comments on my last videos and your insight thank you

reshi pn One word. YES! As a 5'6" roughly 155lb 21 year old, I took down a division one university linebacker while I was working as a bouncer. Skill and technique win out over brute strength MOST of the time.

I think it said 9.5 years.

7.5, 9.5 or 1.5? '-'

There's no way he could learn that in 1.5 years, so it's gotta be one of the other two.

That was what I thought.

It said 9.5 lol

It's a black belt test of course it's gonna be long, yellow belt students gonna die if the test was that intense

Yes - there are breaks when students are presenting - time enough to get a drink and a quick bite.

yeah the judo and bjj is evident but you need to be a well trained bjj or judo guy to be fairly effective, thats why they have the minimum age at 18

IN OUR DOJO BEFORE WE PROMOTE INTO BLACK BELT, YOU SHOULD BE 17 ABOVE, AND BEFORE WE RECIVED OUR BELTS OUR SENIORS PUNCH US WHILE ON A HORSE STANCE 3 PUNCHES/SENIOR ABOARD.
