NoFear1725681471 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The norm to get ablack belt is from 4 to 5 years . Shidokan is more mixed martial arts than a style in itself , don't you agree ???Yeagh, I agree, but anyway it's martial art. But when you go to the tourney and you see how fighters with white belts trained by mine sensei easily wins against others with black belts... Then I start to think that those are not worth black belts...

DaChroniclez Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 a belt is just a belt, i rarely judge someones skill by there belt level. For example, the best fighter lightweight in north america in kyokushin karate (judging fromt he selectiontourney for the world tournament) is only a blue belt, from my dojo (kyokushin belts: white,orange,blue yellow, green, brown, black) It's all about how one trains.

Well, as I'm a newbie in karate I thought black belt means that you're really good fighter or something... but now i know it's more than about fighting...
