How old were you when you received your first black belt?


Recommended Posts

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.

I was 24 when I made my Shodan.
