yewah i recall some 13 year old having a black belt when i did karate in school
after that i just assumed it meant you can do a certain move and repeat whatever gibberish the tutor says
It's supposed to mean you mastered the basics (which are the most important) and you can continue to learn. That's why there are grades above a 1st degree blackbelt. A blue belt if well trained can destroy a lazy blackbelt in bjj.
Imagine being a blue belt as an adult, lol. I earned a black belt at 14 before quitting because martial arts are gay.
Learning a martial art in america, especially an asian one, is basically larping, your teacher can't even pronounce the name correctly and your belt is worth nothing
This. You'd be better off self-teaching via literature. A good chunk of martial arts is philosophy, and you're not learning that from some 43 year old divorced guy from Tennessee.
>cornered by a pack of feral black teens in an alley >thank God I studied the philosophy of martial arts rather than physically practicing them with an experienced instructor >"I am like water, I float effortlessly, your knife blade wil-ACK"
>cornered by muggers >he thinks he's going to fight out of it like an action movie
Martial arts are for self-actualization, peace of body and mind, tournament fighting and fun. If you're getting mugged you either comply or it's gg, unless you have a gun or something.
Unless they're also unarmed, ands its a 1v1 or they're smaller & weaker
But this never happens, humans are dumb apes and defer to bigger stronger apes even when they don't have to because of outdated survival instincts, big tough looking guys seldom get mugged despite guns totally obviating those advantages
Yeah, you're an unarmed guy with a god complex. That's martial arts. You wanna defend yourself from muggers? Get a weapon. That's why Man is the top of the food chain. Because long ago, he picked up a stick and started beating the shit out of people.
>your teacher can't even pronounce the name correctly and your belt is worth nothing
This alway gets me. Take jiu-jitsu for example. That isn't even the real fricking name, americans came up with a new name because they can't pronounce the real one.
It's Ju-Jutsu. I blame the bjj crowd for calling it Jiu-Jitsiu or whatever. Ju-Jutsu is the soft or supple art/technique. The Ju is the same in Judo and Ju-Jutsu. You don't call it JiuDio.
I always assumed the name was just coined when a different romanization system was in vogue. Same as calling the series original Power Rangers was based on "Zyuranger" instead of Juuranger.
Nice opinion, you couch dwelling, cum sipping frick. What is your "sports" routine? to get up, take a shit and eat a bucket of chicken wings? Good for you.
>Michael Fassbender quit acting to become a racecar driver >Tom Hardy quit acting to compete in jiu-jitsu tournaments
Who's next and what weird hobby will they take up? I'm betting on Mads Mikkelsen becoming a figure skater.
Isn't he ashamed to be a blue belt? My 14 year old cousin is a black belt.
Any mall dojo can hand out black belts, they don't mean anything compared to actual competition.

In bjj?
What martial art because BJJ doesn't allow under 16 to have a blue belt, kids have a different belt system than adults
Yeah, I got upgraded from green to blue when I turned 16

That sounds oddly specific

because they know how to pronounce jizz?
Jiu jitsu is Japanese just like the words judo and ne waza
Don't reply to something when you are this ignorant.

Weeb

you can't be a bjj black belt at 14, there are UFC fighters that are blue belts
Must be a joke of a martial art if you're giving out black belts to 14 year olds.
Yeah, if sucking wiener was a sport maybe.
>caring about belts
Lol you fricking homosexual, only thing that matters is how often you compete.
Nice opinion, you couch dwelling, cum sipping frick. What is your "sports" routine? to get up, take a shit and eat a bucket of chicken wings? Good for you.
the kids belts aren't the same as the adult belts. The instructors should be telling the kids that too
good, season 1 was garbage
Mmmmmmm be very very careful
MHHHHMMMMMMM

yeah, black belt at sucking wiener lmaooo

He looks like a genetic experiment to combine Judd Hirsch and Mel Brooks to make the ultimate crotchety old israeli man.

>jistu

hard mode: Ornella is the referee
>Michael Fassbender quit acting to become a racecar driver

Henry Cavill - worldwide WH40K tournament circuit.
>Michael Fassbender
More like Michael Fastbender
Daniel Day Lewis, that smug hipster c**t, quit acting to become a shoe maker in Italy for a while.
Maybe the industry really is that bad.
>Michael Fassbender quit acting to become a racecar driver
Eric Bana did the same.
Hardy didn't quit acting.
In fact, taboo s2 is slated to film next year and release in late 2023/early 2024.
Also, checked.

It has been slated to film soon for the last 5 years.
Do you think he would be able to defeat Steven Seagal?
Pretty sure I could defeat fat boy.
Didn't Tom Hardy admit to fricking dudes in college?
>another
So he's even done this before? What exactly is he hoping to accomplish?
Is that the crackhead MySpace twink?
>driving to the kinoplex
>this Pulls up beside you
What do?
I lived in the apartment as them in Houston. They moved quickly after people started slapping trump stickers all over the truck
