JusticeZero Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Sure, you can get a black belt. It'll be useless, you won't have any ability worth mentioning, but you can get a black belt. It's just a fashion accessory. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedkikr Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 OK...video BB course is worthless because you need real interaction.If you're asking if you can learn MA in a setting other than a commercial school, the answer is yes. There may be someone out there w/ a solid MA history & skills to match teaching out of his garage or basement. But it would be a rare thing. As in anything, check the lineage & don't be fooled by unsubstiantiated claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.A.L Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 first of all black belt certificate from any school or anywhere else has no MA value, as it was posted here before ,it is in your heart and mind not on your Gi. i think anyone in MA can train someone else up to two level below him/her. like a sandan can give out shodan, but i am not sure.

DKizzle Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 You can order a black belt out of the Century MA catalog for $12.99. You can even get your name on it in 4 different languages. But you better wear it around and hope people are intimidated by it, because it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
