Getting a black belt means different things to each individual person. I know my self becoming a black belt meant many different things as i progressed.
What I'd like you to think is what does been a black belt really mean? does it me not to kick A**SS, hit harder, able to defend myself, able to compete in competitions or does it have a different meaning.
Martial arts teaches us along the way to instill principles of self discipline, perseverance, humility, self control, integrity.
Here's what been a black belt meant to me personally:
Having the same high standards of black belt in everyday life, helping my family, been the best brother I can be (black belt brother not a white belt standard), help helping my parents now there becoming older and giving something back, helping pass my experience on to the younger generations to work hard at school and not listen to negative peer pressure, to stand up fir themselves, be a go getter's!!
Helping adults believe in themselves no matter what colour, religion, gender, were all humans begins and deserve ti be treated as such.
My proudest moments have been helping students with disabilities, to allow them to partake and experience what martial arts has to offer, helping to build them up physically and mentally.
now imagine your parent, do you strive to be a black belt parent?, do you strive to be a black belt Friend?, support and be there for one another..........see been a black belt can mean different things....Go on and have a THINK!
