Tkd5

A black belt should only be given if they can prove that they can defend there selfs. Knowing the forms,Kicks,Strikes,Blocks in the air will do nothing, when some one wents to stomp your head into the ground. Why even do a Art. If you can't even save your self from some one that has no belt at all? I say what ever the time it takes to learn it...In know it good enough to use it.

For one a student needs to know all there forms,blocks,strikes,kicks, in how to use them against another person. In to become a black belt the student should at least know how to defend his self against attack on the street. Or at the very least have a better idea then most people on the street. The Arts are for defending your self...If you don't know how to use it then your not a black belt. TKD should take at least 4 years...
