BLACK BELT TESTING.
It’s rare for people to reach Black Belt in our style. It’s been 4 years since it last happened.

We train all 4 fighting ranges plus locks & throws -As well as using & defending weapons -we focus on “war arts” -so there is the full spectrum of martial skills to attain mastery in. And that will take time.

I’m also very old school in my belief & philosophy on what makes a “real” Black Belt.
Getting proficient and functional at self defense is something most people can achieve (and fairly quickly).

But getting to a Black Belt level of skill & technical mastery is not possible for most people. They are the 1%.

(Kids martial arts and martial sports and “budo” arts a whole other animal. A 9 year old Black Belt makes no sense to me. Although congrats to the kid for excelling in the curriculum he was taught. Lol. But he’s not a real Black Belt by my -or most old school Sensei’s- standards. Many of the sport karate Black Belts aren’t at that level either)

Black Belt Test on Monday. These guys in the pic have been training for over 8 years to get their 1st degree Black Belt (“shodan”).
Congrats to them. They earned it and it was well deserved.
