How to get a black belt in a martial art
It made me
proud
 "My personal experience was very positive and life-changing. I made so many good friends in those 5 years, got into excellent physical shape, learned self-discipline and respect and, of course, how to defend myself"
How I did it: My parents placed me into a class when I was about 6 years old because I had begged them to do so. I took it very seriously and became one of the instructors' favorite junior students. I took classes 3 times a week and tried my best every class. When I became a black belt candidate, everything changed, and the experience was more serious. I had to really push myself, but I had the entire candidate group to support me. I accomplished so much and overcame obstacles and fears. Then the day of test, a 6 hour physically and emotionally straining test. I've never been more proud of myself. Well worth it! Resources: Find a GOOD studio. This is difficult to do. My studio is one of the top five in California and one of the bestin the nation. Team Karate Centers. |

How I did it: I started when I was eleven and received my black belt at fourteen. I quit shortly after for a break ( I use to be there anywhere from 10-15 hours a week). Now that I am almost 20, I would like to go back and get my second degree belt. Read how I did it…

Better late than never!

Even if it takes me the rest of my life, I think this is lovely goal! Now, since I’ve only done a bit of judo (looooooved judo), and that was 10 years ago, I need to take the first step now to get back into things!
Internal Arts
3 years ago
Taijiquan with the right teacher is an ultimate challenge of my mind and body and I’m so psyched to be working on it. I’m taking my time and I’ll get to that belt someday. Along the way - what an experience learning subtlties - yesterday I learned (again, in a new scenario) that I barely had to move in order to do something I thought needed a lot of external effort. Internal arts. Deep stuff. :)

This was an awesome goal!

This was one of the best goals I’ve achieved in my life.
I’ve been away from the arts for awhile but would love to start from the beginning with a new style and work my way up again. It’s hard work and very rewarding.
It was fantastic

I set myself this goal a couple of years ago and I practiced really hard and when graduation date came I was really prepared and I felt really good. Black belt was a major achievement for me.
Tried karate

I have tried GKR karate which I enjoyed but don’t think it’s the martial art for me. I’ve always wanted to learn sword fighting. I will keep looking around and find something else to try out.
