karateronin Posted August 19, 2001 Posted August 19, 2001 Hi Guys & Gals God I sound like Jimmy Saville(A very old Disk Jocky taht should be dead but still goes on). Right! What makes a black belt? My opinion a true black belt is a person that feels that they are not as good as others think. I hate the bloke that introduces himself with hi i`m Master ??? 7th Dan As you know from my profile I hold dan grades in all sorts of styles but I only put that information there so you know who I am and what I do. My answer to the 7th dan is I am a desperate dan Come on then nows your chance to really air your views Steve Leak Desperate Dan Cow Pie Eater 10th Degree karateronin is the Chief Instructor of Karate International Black Belt Schools UK.
Angus Posted August 19, 2001 Posted August 19, 2001 What makes a black belt? hmmm.. A person who has more pride in their abilities than they do in that rag they have around their waist... A person who doesn't exercise their techniques in public unless they are in a fight... A person who never starts a fight, but never walks away from one... A person who acts chivalrously, protects virtues and morals etc... A person who is ever willing to teach those who are willing to learn. Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

moobrack Posted August 19, 2001 Posted August 19, 2001 What make a black belt?Hmm! Here are ,my thoughts. A black belt should care for his/her surroundings. A black belt should have an open mind to other people and their opinions. A black belt should focus on his/her task and give 110% in everything that he/she does. A black belt should have an ability to perform techniques and kata's with great form and power. A black belt should show respect to his/her elders and superiors. RESPECT is paramount. DETERMINATION is paramount Anthony Bullock1st Dan Black Belt - Shotokan Karate5th Kyu Yellow Belt - Aiki-Jutsuhttps://www.universaldojo.com Coming Soon

angiewinter Posted August 19, 2001 Posted August 19, 2001 a black belt is someone who never gives up, some one who has a black belt should show respect to others, but respect themselves, never back down and NEVER give out a weak point, Black belts should gain the respect of others by showing respect, not showing off, all black belts i know personally, have my respect ang Angela Winterorange belt, shotokan karateKarate International Black Belt Schools UKNEVER BE INTIMIDATED, NEVER GIVE UP NEVER BE DEFEATED. you are what you are.
iamrushman Posted August 19, 2001 Posted August 19, 2001 i feel that any humble and respectful person is a black belt in themselves... to me, it's not about combat, but charity, compassion,etc, and the ability to hold one's head high knowing they are living a righteous life to become a superior person. (confucius 551-478bc)..... just rushman's humble opinion.. rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson
