Being a black belt is totally different from having a black belt
Black belt: The more we learn, the more we realize how much we still have to learn…
If you are doing martial arts just to get a black belt, you are missing the point and will likely fail in your attempt. The belt is a reminder of the tremendous growth you’ve made while training in your art – becoming fit, learning technique, gaining confidence, becoming disciplined, showing respect, overcoming mental and physical challenges – all important life skills that make you into a better person.....
A black belt is just a belt. It’s the mountains you climb while on your black belt journey that should be your focus and your reward.
Unfortunately, It is very sad to see a large percentage of students, upon earning their black belt, soon quit martial arts training..
For those who understand, it is a lifelong jourey, Keep walking, warriors🥋
