Wow!

He must be really talented! Who cares about the black belt? It is about skill, and being able to defeat your instructor by training by yourself is simply amazing! The other possibility, a highly likely one, is that he joined a total McDojo. And the blackbelts he challanged were originated from that dojo. He should challenge blackbelts of other respected (non-American if you let me) schools, to see if his achievements really mean something. Reading your story, I think he lives in an area with low level schools.

There are several of organisations who are qualified for handing out blackbelts for particular sports. I assume these organisations follow the same criteria for judging one others skill. However, he made his own (nowhere else recognized) sport. So why shouldn't he be allowed to create his own belt system?

Also I disagree with the poll,

we are not able to judge whether he deserves or do not deserves his belt. It seems unlikely that he will graduate for a black belt exam hosted by a respected and qualified organisation for any form of Karate, those judges are the ones to decide, we do not know him. And for the rest, he obtains a belt in his own created sport, why make a big deal out of it?

It's not about fighting, it's about balance.

Yeah Pedro, You're friend Napolean Dynamite is a real blackbelt. And I'm sure the most respected senseis in your area were lining up to prove themselves against a self taught 16 year old boy and his own style that he had been creating since he was 13.

Unending Love,

Yeah, and you left your gear in my locker. You should probably come get it cause I can't fit my nunchucks in there.

I can't stand when people do things like this, there are a few things here I would like to talk about, first off every dog has his day, I know he repeatedly beat black belts but he might have just gotten lucky, but the biggest thing I see here is that who freakin cares if they were black belts?! I have two friends at school that are "black belts" but it only took them a year and a half to get them because their instructors just wanted to test them and get the test fee and they are horrible fighters. When we mess around and fight I beat them every time and I am only 8th kyu- after a year of training- so just because he beat black belts doesn't mean he is good. But even if they were legit black belts and have earned what they are wearing then he is a good fighter but it is still completely wrong to just buy something that so many people work years for in a day and say you earned it. But props if he is a good fighter

The path leading to anger and conflict is wide and easy to travel the path leading to self control and discipline is narrow and difficult

I love your humor MP. I'm voting for you in the "Funniest Member" category in the next KF Awards. I've never laughed so hard, because you make your point so exacting with your humor!!

:P

Thanks. I don't take myself too seriously and forget that sometimes others do. Our gym is all people like that. LiverPunch, who is a better striker than me, likes to do WWF taunts when we spar. I was grappling with one of our guys the other day and my belt came loose. So I hogtied him with it. Some people would get angry about such things. We just laugh about it, and that's the kind of people we want. While a martial art should be scientific, effective and pressure tested, it should also be fun to train.
