shotochem Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I believe it was one of the Gracies (Royce?) the summed it up nicely," A belt only covers 2" of your @ss, the rest is up to you!!!

karatekid1975 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Like I said in another thread, 80% of being a black belt is mental, not physical. The way you are describing their "mental attitude" is bad. They should have never gotten their BB's with that attitude. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aodhan Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Like I said in another thread, 80% of being a black belt is mental, not physical. The way you are describing their "mental attitude" is bad. They should have never gotten their BB's with that attitude.Unfortunately, they may be suffering from what I tend to call "latent BB syndrome."I see a lot of black belts that are new that still have the respect and honor that they were taught as color belts. Then, they get a few tournaments where they place/win, a few friends that are black belts, and they start reinforcing with each other how "bad" they are.Then, they start to feel that anyone that doesn't have a black belt isn't worth their time, so they start asking everyone "What belt are you?" to see if you measure up to their perceived level of worthiness. I see it a lot in late teen/early 20's black belts.
