Sensei Rick Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I am about to have 42 students test for brown and black belt. This is going to happen April 2 nd. I teach them the five tenants of a martial artist. Modesty, perseverance indomitable spirit, self-control, etiquette. Before the test I Give many lectures about what a black belt is and what is expected of them and we practice forever for this test.I would like to have one word or one sentence from all the black belts here about what a black belt is to you. That’s my challenge keep it to one sentence. Then I’m going to combine them all and read them to the student’s before testing. Thanks guys. place clever martial arts phrase here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushido58266 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 this is the same thing i was told after receiving 1st dan in jujutsu a black belt really means nothing, because its not about the belt you where, its about how much you know and how well you know it "Bushido is realized in the presence of death""TapouT or PassouT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
