| “Having a Black Belt makes you are a fighting Master, right? Wrong! In most martial arts schools, earning a Black Belt proves only that you have mastered the basics, a process that usually takes three to five years. Being a Black Belt means that you are ready to begin your journey studying the advanced physical and mental skills of your style. The Black Belt is not the end… It is just the beginning!” |
