karatekid101 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 My cousin just visited us. She's like 13 and she's been doing TKD for a year in Korea. She's already had the chance to test for Black belt! She didn't because she injured herself, but she's going to be testing when she goes back. Only 1 year of training? What do you think about that? Thats pretty amazing. Is she really good? KarateKid101"The answers to life aren't in the back of the book"- Charlie Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseoForce Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I don't share this bleak opinion as a black belt as insignificant. Like any colored belt, the siginificance lies in the sweat and blood paid for the belt. For example, I hold a yellow belt in Tang Soo do (never would have guessed it from my posts, wouldja? ) I don't feel I earned that belt the same way I earned my Combat Hapkido yellow belt awhile back. When a earn my hapkido blackbelt, it will be siginificant, as it is the culmination of each of my colored belts, just as orange belt is the culmination of white and yellow belts, and green belt white, yellow, and orange. A possible theory: McDojo's were handing out BBs. The black belts were getting beat up in street fights. When the students and other people asked their instructor why this was happening. Then the instructor gives some speil (Is that even a word?) about a blackbelt being only the beggining.Did it happen exactly like that? Probably not. Was it kind of like this? I bet. P.S. Tell a BJJ blackbelt that his BB is insignificant. hehehe If it works, use it!If not, throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UseoForce Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Not really sure why I left...it was when I was rather young...I've seen a lot of TSD since then. My dojang has TSD classes as well (Before they were at a different school). I'm much happier with Combat Hapkido. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!
