Out of interest with Patrick's topic "How old where you when you started Martial Arts?" I thought I would ask your age when you received your first Black Belt. Reading through so many posts about how many individuals oppose a child earning a Black Belt, I thought it would be insightful to see how many Martial Artist were actually a child Shodan at one time. I was 13 when I first ranked to Black Belt in a Kung-fu style. It was quite awhile ago, but I believe it really set the basis for me in learning and understanding future Martial Arts styles that I have taken.

A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

I was almost 25 when I got my Shodan in Karate and 27 when I got my Nidan.

This summer I'm hoping to take my Chodan in WTF TKD as well.

Somewhere around 28-30. I'd have to check the certificate to remember exactly.

Should hopefully be going for my 1st Dan WTF TKD at the end of the year so if that happens that would make me 23 :wink:
