I don't know how old little Mahiro Takano is in this video but she is absolutely amazing! So technically crisp and precise and she's got that bone-chilling samurai glare in her eyes. lol
I don't know where or what age, children in Japan learn martial arts, but there's no way a child between the age of three and eight years of age can be a black belt, or second third or fourth degree black belt, and be on the same level as an adult or even a teenager, it's impossible I don't care how discipline they are they don't have the same skills are the same maturity as an adult let alone as a teenager. Shouldn't even be awarded a rewarded a black belt at least till age 15 at least then you have enough experience but you do not have the same maturity, in the same spiritual physical and mental maturity. To bleed a black belt no 3-year-old child 6-year-old child or 8 year old child has ever been in a fight. That's why they should not be rewarded or even given a black belt, that's like taking a kindergartener who barely knows the basics in soccer and saying he's on the same level as a professional soccer player. Think about it in those terms who agrees with me?
Yes your right, but it's a Junior Black Belt. It's not real, but it shows you have completed the Karate syllabus. You will be awarded a real one if you prove yourself after having reached maturity.
And when it comes to skill can you say children in martial arts in Japan that have black belts, as adults and teenagers do. Can you say they have the same strength, are they as strong as an adult man adult woman or even a teenage boy or a girl. Are they on the same fitness level but yet they're black belts because they can do the carters really well. Do they have the same power in their punches kicks, or even the same stamina same chord nation and same jumps can they flip the same or the highest, the answer is no and you know that's the truth so why would you reward a 3-year-old, a 6-year-old ate and even a 12 year old. A black belt. Think about it in this term does a person or a child who plays peewee football do they have the same skill as a person who plays high School football, can a high schooler play at the same level as someone in college. Then someone in college do they have the same skill to go up against someone in the NFL the true question is no? So I say as a martial artist I say children of this age regardless of their skill still lack maturity and the other skills I just mentioned so no they don't deserve the black belt. No they don't deserve their black belt they don't have the wisdom, the skill the strength the dexterity the same wisdom the same muscles the same power as a grown man a teenager or come a grown woman.
