I can't knock a 6 year old black belt. My son was 5 turning 6 when he earned his. But the skill level between my son and this kid is enormous. My kid can put some 12 and 13 year old black belts to shame with his taekwondo skills. Saying that, how do you justify giving one child a black belt and not another? It's probably the same situation at that school as my sons. They promoted him on his own ability. Not someone else's.
@momomauricelamont You realize that your son is in a Mcdojo. Its not something to bragg about. You should be inbarrased of yourself thinking your son has better skills then everyone. You need to realize that their are other people in this world that probely have better skills then your son. So don't assume I hate it when their are people like you who assume 'Oh my son's is better then everyone' so get over yourself
@Lidiya8LML I did not say my son was better than everyone. I said he could put some 12 and 13 year olds to shame. Of course there are better martial artists in this world than he, he's 6 for crying out loud! I wasn't knocking the kid I am knocking the school. No, my sons school is not a Mcdojo. There are governing rules in WCTKD that states once a child has attained the skills to do a Poomsae and Self defense and One step sparring they have earned the right to get the next belt. My son -
@Lidiya8LML -has studied long and hard for his belt. Remembered all the forms from IL Jang to Pal Jang did a choreographed sparring self defense set with a partner and broke 3 boards. Flying side kick, knife hand strike, and a beautiful spinning kick. Yes, I am gushing over my son. He is an awesome 6 year old black belt with a lot of growth in height and maturity ahead of him. I push him a lot less than he pushes himself. He wants to be great. I'm just his father.
How does a 6 year old get a black belt? At my school, kids can not even move up into our actual sanctioned belt rankings until they are 7, and they are held as long as possible at the more advanced gups so a) they can gain the maturity that is required for such advanced training, and b) so they have the motor skills and development to actually do the moves that they are required to know.
Congratualtions on being trained at a black belt factory... go to a real dojang, and actually LEARN the art
Hey... Let's not be critical of this little guy. The problem is with the ATA organization whose motto should be "if the check clears, you get promoted!" I don't get it... promoting this little guy to black belt is a real injustice to the martial art industry.
@emoboisrule ATA is a McDojo... whole reason why people dont take martial arts seriously is because of places like that. Yes, TKD has become more of a sport than anything, but I have watched HORRIBLE TERRIBLE martial artists get their "black belt" out of there. By doing this, it cheapens the meaning of EARNING the belt by HARD WORK and DEDICATION.
@AFPraetorian the thing is, it's a Cashcow. Whenever something gets popular Worldwide the Core gets rotten. Think about Nike and the popularity of Breakdance, all the rich Kids wore Shoes from Nike because the black Guys in the Ghetto wore them. Why ? because they were cheap. But after it became a Trend the Price went through the Roof because all the rich Kids wore them. The Quality remained low.
The only Solution is to establish a Clubsign like The Rock Machine, Bandidos or Hells Angels did.
omg thats retarded a 6 year old can not be a black belt, he would have to start at like 1, and he couldent there cause he wouldent know whats going on. also, his instructer must suck.
@samuelshark6145 You do understand that the color of your belt means nothing right? I can go buy a black belt from ebay for like what $12? So just let this kid (along with every other "black belt" on youtube) tote around their little polyester trophy. You guys really have to stop caring so much about people and their arrogance. After all they're only human.
My son is 6 by the way. he's learning more. getting stronger. more flexible and he's now learning ITF to compliment his WTF forms. It's all good folks. make it personal and this boys belt will mean nothing to you. Ive seen boys like this all over Korea and no one bats an eye. We Americans are more consumed with it than they are in Korea. Its about the skill not a belt.
My son returned from Korea (WTF) with a Poom Belt. Thats a Jr. Black belt. He's recognized by the kukiwon as a Poom level 1. But when he came back to the US he was only at about a green belt level (local dojang). Problem with belts is they become the focus. It really is about the journey. Who care what belt is on his hips. It does no dishonor to him. Maybe his dojang caricullum isnt tight. But hey thats on the sabonim not this 6 year old. My son wears his dobak with pride.
This is whats known as a "money belt". The instructor that gave him black belt only cares about making money and does not care whether the student was ready or not. These type instructors have no integrity and give the martial arts a bad name. The instructor is obviously a bad instructor himself. Most traditional schools teach at minimum age of 6 yrs old, Starting at that age the kids normally get their black belt around 10-11 yrs old (4-5 years training) or even a bit later.
Don't know about karate because I switched to Kung Fu cause I was bored but I got my first black belt at 8 and second one at 11 (20 hour testing). We have a 5 year old at our Kung Fu school doing double broad sword and pudao. I train at least 3rd degree adult forms. Most of our yellow belts have this kid's skill level already.
this is giving him a false sense of security. no one his age should be given a black belt. coz even a completely untrained attacker could take someone that small down. i agree with WoxHax this guy should be a yellow belt. and not because of his age but his skill level..
Any child that can get up in front of people and perform at 6 is great. But if you really want to see an amazing 6 year old with unbelievable talent search (Garrett XMA)!
@LoveVenomKills that's quite sad. I got my 2nd Dan at age 15 but I stopped Taekwondo almost immediately after that, so I never got my full black belt. Kinda sad to see little children like this kid get their full blacks so early
this kid is great for a 6 year old, and will undoubtedly be very proficient as a martial artist when he is older. But nobody his age should be awarded with a black belt, it undermines the whole system.
You kidding me? who in the hell give this kid a black belt? Let alone any 6 year old kid? What a joke of a club. HA pretty funny. Little kid is going to get his ass licked by anyone. false sense of security
@coolbassman either its a bad school that doesnt know or accept the rule that you must be worthy to the color you wear or he didnt earn this one and borrowed it from a black belt person and he is brapping about his no skills even me can do better then him and i did Teakwondo for 2 weeks max
This child shows a lack of balance and stability. One is unlikely to find strength in his strikes, but he's probably been taught that if he can break a board that this is meaningful, who knows why. This is fairly normal developmentally. He certainly has lots of enthusiasm and commitment, but the skill doesn't match the rank. I think that either the definition of what a black belt is needs to be changed, or it should be held for when a child is older and more developed in mind, body & spirit.
@yosefsima Agreed. And I appreciate that you put it delicatley, so as not to damage this childs confidence. They need to either explain that its just a sport rank, or they should hold the black belt from them until he is older and more stable.
K. I would have to agree with everyone else. In my organization it takes roughly 2 years to get one. At his age he would be a yellow belt or orange belt. We teach at 4yrs at dragon white. Then dragon yellow, dragon orange, then yellow belt. In between all those other belts, he would hit all the senior belts. He should have his belt until he is at least 10 years old. Even then he would of made it by doing the requrements. Now he should start failing for those bad stances.
I'd say 5-7 year for a black belt would be sufficient. An inept black belt is not a disgrace only to himself, but to his organization, his teacher and his style.
No art form should take 5-7 yrs to get to 1st degree black belt. Or there wouldn't be any more ranks higher than black belt. And first degree isn't anything to brag about since you only learn the techinques. Thats why at black belt you really have to train how to put it together. Everything from cardio training, punching combos, kicks, and blocks. And kids are kids. Not all of them will look clean and crisp at black belt. But this kid does need some improving.
You shouldn't have to reach black belt before you can start ''really training''. Black belt is a mark of status, something you should have to work really hard to achieve. But the time required differs with styles, for example in my current style, Hokutoryu jujutsu, you have a to be at your current belt for a certain amount of time before you can take the test for higher belt, so getting a black belt usually takes around 5 years. Whereas in BJJ, you belt is in level with you abilities.
If you are really good, a BJJ black belt will test you in sparring, and if he finds your skills sufficient, he will award you with a higher belt. This might take a long time, or not. BJ Penn got his BJJ black belt in three years.
Well, like you said it depends on the art. And yes your black belt should be something you worked hard for. Some organizations and instructors do just give it away. But also not all schools and instructors are like that. Through all the color belts and senior belts (if that school have them) a person should take 2-3 years to be a black belt. After that, it really gets hard and people do fail alot. Good luck to your training.
Well 3 maybe, but just 2 years is too quick. BJ Penn's talent is martial arts is like Mozart's talent to music, that's why he got his belt in 3 years. Training shouldn't just get har after you get a black belt, you should have to train hard FOR you black belt.
I agree it takes three or four years at the least. That what's my instructor said I'm a orange testing real soon :D I've been at it for 6 or 7 months now so I have a while tell black anyways being orange...
yea i just got my black belt and i'm 13, it must be one of those really fast learning tkd schools, thats stupid because 5 is about the year you can start tae kwon do and they wouldn't be doing stuff the older kids would be doing, they would be doing really easy stuff. and that form is chong - mu. yea thats so wrong, a 6 year old is not able to be a black belt
Im sorry but that isnt a black belt im thirteen and ive only just got it, and besides it takes years to perfect those skills and surely if he was he could do a little better than that his punches were sideways and his kicks were wobbly. LOL
thats sad this is the problem nowadays when dojos/dojangs give out black belts as if the rank meant nothing at all people who train those kids and give them that rank should be ashamed for giving those poor kids false confidence in there abilities only after years of hard training should you be even allowed to go for your black belt and i don't mean three years i mean 8-10 years minimum if not longer.
tkd does not always give away the belts I have been training in it for five years....I'm not a black belt...I am a red belt...my teacher is really strict with her students...the idea of doing 1,000 knuckle pushups as part of my black belt test scares me....
i agree with ya it took me 5 years to get mine but i went 3 to 4 days a week. im a 1st degree now and have been for a year and most likely wont test for my 2nd for another year or 2. thats just how my school is, its based on skill 1st, most schools just go by time
no it usually would only take you 3 years, not 6 to 8, unless you forget everything over and over again and stuff. it took me about 3 years to get it and i'm pretty good so i think thats a kinda long time
yeah ive dont 3 yrs of tae kwon do and im 15. best in my class. and i remember that there used to be a 9 yr old girl who had a black belt and could do nothing at all. i quit after i got my black belt because i was being used for profit.
same here, its like were i went kids that were 8 years old got black belts (they weren't that good) and im all wtfudge. cause theres an academy up the road from the one i went to and you'd have to least be 16 to get a black belt there and after i got my black belt at age 16 i quite not just cause i was used for profit (maybe i was) but i didn't like the way the academy was mannaged.
Wow.This is depressing.I am in my 12th year of training in TKD and HKD.My son and daughter started at the same time.My son and daughter are now 18 and 17 respectively and earned their ranks (2nd Dan).This "6 year old Black Belt" makes a mockery of all of the years of sweat and training that a real TKD student goes through to achieve their Black Belts.Shame on the Master who authorized this and the parents who allowed it.
So if it does not mtater that the kid is a black belt, at 6 with very little skill, why not give everyone a blackbelt to start out they will earn it someday.Not how it works.I guess when he gets his first job he should be making millions a year.NOT A BAD STUDENT,BAD INSTRUCTOR.
Not sure why everyone is so negitive on this kid. So what if he got his BB premature. Be positive and encourage this kid to keep training. He will improve. I have seen many BB that are sorry. So what! I try to help them.
I just sparred a 19 year old 2 DAN the other day and he was horrible. I gave him some tips and some things he needed to work on and he was greatful.
Non of your negitive comments are helping this kid. What does the belt really mean anyway. Respect the person and the Art.
You just don't get it, do you? If you TRULY respect the person and the art, you would be honest and TEACH him taekwondo until he really is at black belt level. A black belt indicates that he's got the basic knowledge (=THEORY) and skills, which this kid hasn't. They're just pleasing the parents to keep them paying. They're giving him FALSE HOPE. With a mentality like yours (Oh he's such a cute kid, give him a black belt) you're not the right person to give others advice, really.
No you do not get it. So what that his instructor gave him a BB and he is not ready for it. That belt means nothing. As long as he trains and has the will to get better then he will. And he will look back and say to himself, wow what was I doing back then and have a laugh. Does it really matter if he looks back and sees a green belt self or a blackbelt self? I think not. It is his journey not yours. You need to look at yourself and judge yourself. Not others. Who knows what this kid will become.
Sure, why not give him a 12th Dan...he might get encouraged to train harder, right? Why not make him president of ITF, it might encourage him to exercise more. Maybe he'll have a laugh when he's older and looks back when he was a baby and was president of ITF...
Trust me, you should stay far far away from taekwondo.
Who ever gave that kid a black belt should not be allowed to teach.The kid will figure it out when he smarts off and gets used like a mop.Not a bad student BAD instructor.
thats actually unacceptable no child with that level or age should be given a black belt im not sure about taekwondo but in karate-do it takes u at least 5 years to get your black belt and thats really fast for normal ppl it take them about 7 or 8
lol u dont understand that boy cant fight for shit hes just a kid he hasnt got the power they really shouldnt give a black belt to a little boy wait a few years then give him it its almost like they give little kids black belts just to keep them happy
I hope that's a joke... I teach Taekwondo for about ten years and I don't understand how can we give a black belt to child who doesn't know to give correctly a punch or a kick. He knows Taeguk Pal Djan and the other Poom-Se? Probably no! Remove that belt, change school and put a white belt...
i got my black belt at age 10 and now i'm a black belt 2nd dan. this kid got his black belt at a really young age. he must've trained since he was like 1 years old. i started ever since i was 6
Theres no goddamn way average American kids as young as 6 could get to black belt unless they start at age 1 and commit long hours everday day and move ahead of his group during class session + maybe taking 2 belt test in the same year. Skipping elementary school & committing yourself to your martial art it's maybe possible.
I only believe children with high belt rank are born in Asian family that dedicates to teaching the way of martial arts cus it makes more sense.
Hmmm...Really. My kids are 7 and 9. My 9 year old girl got her BB at 8. My 7 year old son (will be 8 next month will get his BB this weekend. Yes they practice everyday for 2 hours and more on the weekend. Take a look at some of my vids of them. Just click my name and look at my vids. It can be done and I am not Asian. They both started at 4
Yeah whatever CASteel1, it's so obvious that your kids are at a school with an unskilled instructor who's selling black belts like hamburgers just to please both you as parents and keep the kids happy. The teacher will receive his big check, you can brag about your unskilled kids having "black belt" and your kids are gullible enough to think they have real black belt skills. A shame to taekwondo.
Your school is selling belts, not teaching taekwondo. They give all your toddlers black belts just to keep you happy and convince you that they really have black belt knowledge and skills.
Ha ha ha. Watch my kids videos. It is obvious you did not. Also, you make comments like you do and your page is full of toys. ha ha ha... maybe this is someting that your experienced first hand so you are bitter. Click my name and watch my kids videos.
1. I did immediately check your channel and watched the videos.
2. It's not "toys" but vintage G1 figures, some worth hundreds of dollars each. They're a piece of 25 history which you judge but know nothing about. They're like porcelain or paintings.
3. I don't see you at your nationals because I don't live in the US. I am reigning national poomsae champion, but that's not important for the discussion.
It's just that today it's a matter of ego and BUYING belts to please kids and the parents.
You don't seem to understand taekwondo. Fighting (i.e. street fighing/brawling) has nothing to do with taekwondo. If your poomsae is bad, it means you are not doing tkd kyorugi but street fighting. It's so often that ppl do a bitchagi while they intend to do a dollyo during sparring. If you don't know how to perform the moves how they should be, winning a fight says nothing about your tkd skills.
Yes I know about TKD. Any you can do all the Poomsae in the world, but only fighting, "TKD style fighting not brawling" makes you a better fighter. I do not have to do a form to get better at kicking or punching. If I just practice the kick or punch then put it to practical use I can get better at fighting. Forms are nothing more than doing the kick or punch as a pttern. But you need to fight to get better at fighting. No form in the world with help with fighting. Any MA person knows that.
Don't say anything anymore. You've proven your total lack of understanding. Taekwondo is not "fighting" or "attacking", it's defense. Poomsae is the TRUE measurement of basic skills. If your poomsae is not good, your taekwondo is not good. You can punch or kick someone to death, it has nothing to do with taekwondo. Sure, there are always butchers at competitions who slaughter everyone with their extreme mass and strength, but that has nothing to do with taekwondo. That is street fighting.
There is no real measure of skill other than a true fight. If you thing that forms alone will help you defend yourself then you a fool.
Also where did mass and strength come from? Who said anything about that? You can not argue points that no one even mentioned. And you bring this up why? I could care less about this point. I am talking sport TKD. It is there for a reason. To truly test your skills. Forms can not do that.
Stop talking crap. If you fight a multiple times K1-champ I'm 100% sure he will make you tap out in no time. That doesn't mean he is better in taekwondo. There are may competitions in which the winner is simply the strongest, heaviest and hardest guy. His kicks/techniques may be totally incorrect but he wins because he's the strongest. That doesn't mean he's got skill. Forms are the basics to perfect skill and if you choose to be a stubborn go ahead. Waste your training time. I do spar. So?
Oh, and they're not "toys". They're G1 figures. It's like scale-model Ferrari cars. They are not toys, they're museum-worthy pieces of history, but you judge about things that you don't know about because that's what's apparent when I read your "wisdom" about taekwondo ("ow come on, give the toddler a black belt!!").
Whatever dude. They mass produce those toys. There is only one "Mona Lisa". You got toys dude toys. You are compareing apples to nothing.
Also never said give a blackbelt to a toddler. I just stated that My kids got there BB at 9 and train everyday in traditionl ways. Re-read my posts. Also just becasue the kid in this vid got his BB at 6 means nothing. Encourage him to continue his training. I have come accross many BB that trained for years and they were not that good. Individuals differ.
Again, you're judging things that you totally do not understand. A lot of figures are vintage 25 year old figures and only a couple of thousand exist in the world. The factory mold is lost and therefore they can never be reproduced anymore.
And you're ignoring my statement that if you're a little kid, you CAN NOT have black belt knowledge. Does your kid know all the Korean terminology. Does she truly understand the way a body works in taekwondo? The physics? I don't think so.
As for your toys dude. You believe what you want. it is your money.
As for my kids. Yes they know all the Korean terms due to our Master being Korean and stressing them.
As for knowing how the body works they understand about as much as most if not a bit more. Most people do not major in Kinesiology and would be surprised if even a Master could explain it on a scientific level. I could however because now you are in my area of knowledge.
It's not about "believing". The fact that YOU don't know it, doesn't mean other people don't know it. I get them from international auctions, not toy shops. I have KNOWLEDGE about G1 figures, you DON'T. I've been keeping up with the figures for 25 years now. Funny how ignorant you are.
Your daughter knows nothing. It's bullshit that a 9 year old has full knowledge of physics. You might want to believe she knows because you're a proud parent.
The only thing that your kids know is that mommy's gonna pay so that your master sells new belts/grades instead of DESERVING them through increase of knowledge and skill. Give 'em 6th Dan now, right? And you wish you had my figures, admit it.
Oh, and big deal that your master is Korean. My master is grandmaster Kim, 8th Dan, European president taekwondo & hwarangdo and ITF-chairmember. Oh and he's also 8th Dan in hwarangdo and 7th Dan in nunchucks. Don't try to brag about your teacher because I'm not impressed.
Again here you go with your usless gas. No bragging being done. I responded to your questions. You are the one trying to brag.
Again where are you videos of you and your mastery? All I see are toys. 50 plus videos of TOYS. My kid has many of these toys the my brother handed down to him. He did not have to pay for them at no auction. Like I said it is your money dude, do what you want with it.
Sure, your kids have a $100 '74 Sunstreaker which was out of production after 1984. Your kid has a $100 '74 Mirage. You just don't know what you're talking about and generalize everything. Don't compare your $1 Happy Meal toys with museum pieces. You're comparing a $200 wrecked car with a concept Lamborghini. This has nothing to do with knowledge but more with an ignorant mentality. It applies to discussions about any topic. You're even ignorant while you DO practice tkd, imagine if you didn't.
I have know idea what he has. I just know that my brother had a bunch of transformer toys that he played with in the 80's that my mom kept and sent to my son. I could care less if someone like you want's to pay $100 for it. I am not going out my way to buy any TOY for $100. I gave up those kind of TOYS a long time ago.
Anyway dude. Your novlity has worn off. Everyone has gone home, no one left to have a good laugh with. Have fun with your TOYS and keep practicing those forms.
It's lame how you look down on poomse forms and call yourself a taekwondo practitioner and use my Transformers hobby which is totally irrelevant because you're obviously talking nonsense. If you don't understand the value of poomse and insist on sparring and buying belts it's obvious that you are the type of student who want to "play" because you don't want to learn the basics.
Oh, and while you're busy buying belts, why not buy 100 black belts for everyone in your neighborhood so that they are encouraged to train harder. And according to you they should skip poomse because they'd better start "fighting" before they know the basics and how everything really works physically. If you don't know tkd, okay. But stay away from the kids and don't poison them with your lack of responsibility to really LEARN taekwondo instead of buying belts and "fight".
I can't knock a 6 year old black belt. My son was 5 turning 6 when he earned his. But the skill level between my son and this kid is enormous. My kid can put some 12 and 13 year old black belts to shame with his taekwondo skills. Saying that, how do you justify giving one child a black belt and not another?

My son is 6 by the way. he's learning more. getting stronger. more flexible and he's now learning ITF to compliment his WTF forms. It's all good folks. make it personal and this boys belt will mean nothing to you. Ive seen boys like this all over Korea and no one bats an eye. We Americans are more consumed with it than they are in Korea. Its about the skill not a belt.

My son returned from Korea (WTF) with a Poom Belt. Thats a Jr. Black belt. He's recognized by the kukiwon as a Poom level 1. But when he came back to the US he was only at about a green belt level (local dojang). Problem with belts is they become the focus. It really is about the journey. Who care what belt is on his hips. It does no dishonor to him. Maybe his dojang caricullum isnt tight. But hey thats on the sabonim not this 6 year old. My son wears his dobak with pride.

wow to young and to bad to be a black belt! sorry.

This is whats known as a "money belt". The instructor that gave him black belt only cares about making money and does not care whether the student was ready or not. These type instructors have no integrity and give the martial arts a bad name. The instructor is obviously a bad instructor himself. Most traditional schools teach at minimum age of 6 yrs old, Starting at that age the kids normally get their black belt around 10-11 yrs old (4-5 years training) or even a bit later.

Don't know about karate because I switched to Kung Fu cause I was bored but I got my first black belt at 8 and second one at 11 (20 hour testing). We have a 5 year old at our Kung Fu school doing double broad sword and pudao. I train at least 3rd degree adult forms. Most of our yellow belts have this kid's skill level already.

this is giving him a false sense of security. no one his age should be given a black belt. coz even a completely untrained attacker could take someone that small down. i agree with WoxHax this guy should be a yellow belt. and not because of his age but his skill level..

himrules123456 9 months ago
This child shows a lack of balance and stability. One is unlikely to find strength in his strikes, but he's probably been taught that if he can break a board that this is meaningful, who knows why. This is fairly normal developmentally. He certainly has lots of enthusiasm and commitment, but the skill doesn't match the rank. I think that either the definition of what a black belt is needs to be changed, or it should be held for when a child is older and more developed in mind, body & spirit.
yosefsima 2 years ago 15
@yosefsima Agreed. And I appreciate that you put it delicatley, so as not to damage this childs confidence. They need to either explain that its just a sport rank, or they should hold the black belt from them until he is older and more stable.

digla10 2 years ago
K. I would have to agree with everyone else. In my organization it takes roughly 2 years to get one. At his age he would be a yellow belt or orange belt. We teach at 4yrs at dragon white. Then dragon yellow, dragon orange, then yellow belt. In between all those other belts, he would hit all the senior belts. He should have his belt until he is at least 10 years old. Even then he would of made it by doing the requrements. Now he should start failing for those bad stances.
RDraGon2179 2 years ago
2 years, way too quick IMO
Moosh50 2 years ago
And how long do you think to become a black belt? Because at black belt the training really begins.
RDraGon2179 2 years ago
I'd say 5-7 year for a black belt would be sufficient. An inept black belt is not a disgrace only to himself, but to his organization, his teacher and his style.
Moosh50 2 years ago
No art form should take 5-7 yrs to get to 1st degree black belt. Or there wouldn't be any more ranks higher than black belt. And first degree isn't anything to brag about since you only learn the techinques. Thats why at black belt you really have to train how to put it together. Everything from cardio training, punching combos, kicks, and blocks. And kids are kids. Not all of them will look clean and crisp at black belt. But this kid does need some improving.
RDraGon2179 2 years ago
You shouldn't have to reach black belt before you can start ''really training''. Black belt is a mark of status, something you should have to work really hard to achieve. But the time required differs with styles, for example in my current style, Hokutoryu jujutsu, you have a to be at your current belt for a certain amount of time before you can take the test for higher belt, so getting a black belt usually takes around 5 years. Whereas in BJJ, you belt is in level with you abilities.
Moosh50 2 years ago
If you are really good, a BJJ black belt will test you in sparring, and if he finds your skills sufficient, he will award you with a higher belt. This might take a long time, or not. BJ Penn got his BJJ black belt in three years.
Moosh50 2 years ago
Well, like you said it depends on the art. And yes your black belt should be something you worked hard for. Some organizations and instructors do just give it away. But also not all schools and instructors are like that. Through all the color belts and senior belts (if that school have them) a person should take 2-3 years to be a black belt. After that, it really gets hard and people do fail alot. Good luck to your training.
RDraGon2179 2 years ago
Well 3 maybe, but just 2 years is too quick. BJ Penn's talent is martial arts is like Mozart's talent to music, that's why he got his belt in 3 years. Training shouldn't just get har after you get a black belt, you should have to train hard FOR you black belt.
Moosh50 2 years ago

Not sure why everyone is so negitive on this kid. So what if he got his BB premature. Be positive and encourage this kid to keep training. He will improve. I have seen many BB that are sorry. So what! I try to help them.
I just sparred a 19 year old 2 DAN the other day and he was horrible. I gave him some tips and some things he needed to work on and he was greatful.
Non of your negitive comments are helping this kid. What does the belt really mean anyway. Respect the person and the Art.
CASteel1 4 years ago
You just don't get it, do you? If you TRULY respect the person and the art, you would be honest and TEACH him taekwondo until he really is at black belt level. A black belt indicates that he's got the basic knowledge (=THEORY) and skills, which this kid hasn't. They're just pleasing the parents to keep them paying. They're giving him FALSE HOPE. With a mentality like yours (Oh he's such a cute kid, give him a black belt) you're not the right person to give others advice, really.
huryochagi 4 years ago
No you do not get it. So what that his instructor gave him a BB and he is not ready for it. That belt means nothing. As long as he trains and has the will to get better then he will. And he will look back and say to himself, wow what was I doing back then and have a laugh. Does it really matter if he looks back and sees a green belt self or a blackbelt self? I think not. It is his journey not yours. You need to look at yourself and judge yourself. Not others. Who knows what this kid will become.
CASteel1 4 years ago
Sure, why not give him a 12th Dan...he might get encouraged to train harder, right? Why not make him president of ITF, it might encourage him to exercise more. Maybe he'll have a laugh when he's older and looks back when he was a baby and was president of ITF...
Trust me, you should stay far far away from taekwondo.

3. I don't see you at your nationals because I don't live in the US. I am reigning national poomsae champion, but that's not important for the discussion.
It's just that today it's a matter of ego and BUYING belts to please kids and the parents.
huryochagi 4 years ago
Where are your vids of you training or doing anything?
Also Poomsae is good and all but it is all about the Kyorugi. Many are good a Poomsae but Kyorugi is where you test your skills.
Last but least. They are toys dude. Spin it how you want that are toys.
Oh and we will be doing some international meets so hope to see you then.
CASteel1 4 years ago
You don't seem to understand taekwondo. Fighting (i.e. street fighing/brawling) has nothing to do with taekwondo. If your poomsae is bad, it means you are not doing tkd kyorugi but street fighting. It's so often that ppl do a bitchagi while they intend to do a dollyo during sparring. If you don't know how to perform the moves how they should be, winning a fight says nothing about your tkd skills.
huryochagi 4 years ago
Yes I know about TKD. Any you can do all the Poomsae in the world, but only fighting, "TKD style fighting not brawling" makes you a better fighter. I do not have to do a form to get better at kicking or punching. If I just practice the kick or punch then put it to practical use I can get better at fighting. Forms are nothing more than doing the kick or punch as a pttern. But you need to fight to get better at fighting. No form in the world with help with fighting. Any MA person knows that.
CASteel1 4 years ago
Don't say anything anymore. You've proven your total lack of understanding. Taekwondo is not "fighting" or "attacking", it's defense. Poomsae is the TRUE measurement of basic skills. If your poomsae is not good, your taekwondo is not good. You can punch or kick someone to death, it has nothing to do with taekwondo. Sure, there are always butchers at competitions who slaughter everyone with their extreme mass and strength, but that has nothing to do with taekwondo. That is street fighting.
huryochagi 4 years ago 2
There is no real measure of skill other than a true fight. If you thing that forms alone will help you defend yourself then you a fool.
Also where did mass and strength come from? Who said anything about that? You can not argue points that no one even mentioned. And you bring this up why? I could care less about this point. I am talking sport TKD. It is there for a reason. To truly test your skills. Forms can not do that.
CASteel1 4 years ago
Stop talking crap. If you fight a multiple times K1-champ I'm 100% sure he will make you tap out in no time. That doesn't mean he is better in taekwondo. There are may competitions in which the winner is simply the strongest, heaviest and hardest guy. His kicks/techniques may be totally incorrect but he wins because he's the strongest. That doesn't mean he's got skill. Forms are the basics to perfect skill and if you choose to be a stubborn go ahead. Waste your training time. I do spar. So?
huryochagi 4 years ago 2
Oh, and they're not "toys". They're G1 figures. It's like scale-model Ferrari cars. They are not toys, they're museum-worthy pieces of history, but you judge about things that you don't know about because that's what's apparent when I read your "wisdom" about taekwondo ("ow come on, give the toddler a black belt!!").
huryochagi 4 years ago 2
Whatever dude. They mass produce those toys. There is only one "Mona Lisa". You got toys dude toys. You are compareing apples to nothing.
Also never said give a blackbelt to a toddler. I just stated that My kids got there BB at 9 and train everyday in traditionl ways. Re-read my posts. Also just becasue the kid in this vid got his BB at 6 means nothing. Encourage him to continue his training. I have come accross many BB that trained for years and they were not that good. Individuals differ.
CASteel1 4 years ago
Again, you're judging things that you totally do not understand. A lot of figures are vintage 25 year old figures and only a couple of thousand exist in the world. The factory mold is lost and therefore they can never be reproduced anymore.
And you're ignoring my statement that if you're a little kid, you CAN NOT have black belt knowledge. Does your kid know all the Korean terminology. Does she truly understand the way a body works in taekwondo? The physics? I don't think so.
huryochagi 4 years ago
As for your toys dude. You believe what you want. it is your money.
As for my kids. Yes they know all the Korean terms due to our Master being Korean and stressing them.
As for knowing how the body works they understand about as much as most if not a bit more. Most people do not major in Kinesiology and would be surprised if even a Master could explain it on a scientific level. I could however because now you are in my area of knowledge.
CASteel1 4 years ago
It's not about "believing". The fact that YOU don't know it, doesn't mean other people don't know it. I get them from international auctions, not toy shops. I have KNOWLEDGE about G1 figures, you DON'T. I've been keeping up with the figures for 25 years now. Funny how ignorant you are.
Your daughter knows nothing. It's bullshit that a 9 year old has full knowledge of physics. You might want to believe she knows because you're a proud parent.

I do not care where you buy them. Toys dude. Nothing more. You can call me ignorant all you want. They are still toys.
I never said she knows aobut physics. Again read what I wrote. You just fart off at the mouth. Read what I wrote first then let your gas out.

The only thing that your kids know is that mommy's gonna pay so that your master sells new belts/grades instead of DESERVING them through increase of knowledge and skill. Give 'em 6th Dan now, right? And you wish you had my figures, admit it.

Oh, and big deal that your master is Korean. My master is grandmaster Kim, 8th Dan, European president taekwondo & hwarangdo and ITF-chairmember. Oh and he's also 8th Dan in hwarangdo and 7th Dan in nunchucks. Don't try to brag about your teacher because I'm not impressed.

Again here you go with your usless gas. No bragging being done. I responded to your questions. You are the one trying to brag.
Again where are you videos of you and your mastery? All I see are toys. 50 plus videos of TOYS. My kid has many of these toys the my brother handed down to him. He did not have to pay for them at no auction. Like I said it is your money dude, do what you want with it.

Sure, your kids have a $100 '74 Sunstreaker which was out of production after 1984. Your kid has a $100 '74 Mirage. You just don't know what you're talking about and generalize everything. Don't compare your $1 Happy Meal toys with museum pieces. You're comparing a $200 wrecked car with a concept Lamborghini. This has nothing to do with knowledge but more with an ignorant mentality. It applies to discussions about any topic. You're even ignorant while you DO practice tkd, imagine if you didn't.

I have know idea what he has. I just know that my brother had a bunch of transformer toys that he played with in the 80's that my mom kept and sent to my son. I could care less if someone like you want's to pay $100 for it. I am not going out my way to buy any TOY for $100. I gave up those kind of TOYS a long time ago.
Anyway dude. Your novlity has worn off. Everyone has gone home, no one left to have a good laugh with. Have fun with your TOYS and keep practicing those forms.

It's lame how you look down on poomse forms and call yourself a taekwondo practitioner and use my Transformers hobby which is totally irrelevant because you're obviously talking nonsense. If you don't understand the value of poomse and insist on sparring and buying belts it's obvious that you are the type of student who want to "play" because you don't want to learn the basics.

Oh, and while you're busy buying belts, why not buy 100 black belts for everyone in your neighborhood so that they are encouraged to train harder. And according to you they should skip poomse because they'd better start "fighting" before they know the basics and how everything really works physically. If you don't know tkd, okay. But stay away from the kids and don't poison them with your lack of responsibility to really LEARN taekwondo instead of buying belts and "fight".
