What Makes A BlackBelt

[BlueDragon]

I just posted a topic and now I realise before that can be discussed another question must be awnsered. What makes a blackbelt?

 

I believe Fighting Ability, Technique and Wisdom are the three things one needs to obtain his/her belt.

I would like to think that a black belt would be an awesome fighter but in reality this is far from the truth. Now, I'm not saying that every black are bad fighters, but it's not the belt that makes the fighter.

 

In short, the pretty black belt will not be here to fight for you in a street fight, and it is the skills of the fighter that will save him.

 

Finally, I don't mean to offend people that really cares about the belt ranking as this only reflect my opinion.

To gain black belt one must have great technique, alot of experience, great form, speed, agility, WISDOM. These are the things that make a true black belt.

i dont think the colour of the belt should matter. Som e4th kyus deserve black belts and some 2nd dans dont in my experience. Everyone has individual strengths that make them deserving.
