Rich_2k3 Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 I dont know how many exactly is its impossible to tell because alot of clubs are independant, its a very popular sport in the UK (can I call it a sport) but remember its not just Karate. TKD, Judo, Kung fu, Kickboxing, ju jitsu and Muay thai are among the popular ones. "When my enemy contracts I expand and when he expands I contract" - Bruce Lee

aefibird Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 ooh, there's loads I should imagine. I read once (I can't remember where, sorry) that karate was the most popular MA in the UK and that martial artists account for about 15-20% of the population. That's just a rough guess, I should imagine that it would be very difficult to accuratly record all the martial artists around. Anyway, what would you class as a 'martial artist'? Would someone who has been training for only, say, a month be counted? I'm sure they'd feel like martial artists! Or would it be restricted to people who had only been training for a certain length of time or who had reached a certain grade? Why would you feel afraid with so many black belts around, anyway? Most people who are black belts have the common sense of years of training to know to keep clear of fights and not start trouble. Therefore, the more black belts there are around, surely the less danger and trouble there should be?? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

siufeifei Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 i think you should be more afraid of the people who THINK they are black belts. Besides, belts don't mean a whole lot anyway. I mean, how scared are you of them five year old black belts? ohayo gozaimasu, o genki desu ka.
Practice is the key _ Posted January 22, 2004 Author Posted January 22, 2004 Well, five years old black belt how cute that means that the child must of train about since 11 months years old...theres no 5 years old black in the world...prove me if am wrong.

aefibird Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 I mean, how scared are you of them five year old black belts? Very scared... of the fact that some poor kid is gonna grow up thinking they're a competent martial artist just because someone decided they could have a black belt at age 5 or 6. I think that a child should be AT LEAST 10 before they're even considered for a black belt. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

You said it all yeah actually 5 years old black belt does not understand alot, a child should atleast be about 9-10 to get a black belt. I'd agree.
