Hey, I don't know if this happens to any one else, but if martial arts ever comes up in a conversation, and I mention that I am a black belt I almost always hear the same thing. "I tried Karate for a month, then I dropped out." Not necessarly Karate, but I alway here people saying they tried an art for a month then dropped out. I then realized only a few people can be martial artists. I'm sure a ton wouldn't mind being a black belt or so, but I think only a few people have the drive to go all the way, and stick with Martial Arts. Just a thought, Alex
