Even this little kid is a blackbelt. They must give those away like candy at his school.

My two problems with this video.
1. The attacker is aiming beside the defenders head which gives the defender in a false sense of security. In My experience when a person is used to attacks coming at them they can't defend a real attack because they've never been forced to move.
2. The attcker moves his hand almost to the end of the staff allowing his arm to be caught. If he would have kept it in its original position the defender would have hit his own head with the attackers staff.

@rza2ch Actual use: Belts are only used to keep your gi top closed.
In the US: belts are used to show the student that they are making progress, because they cannot see it unless you show them they are making progress.
Business side: testing for a new belt is to get more money out of you.
I used to teach for a big martial arts company and the business side is very true, unfortunately.

With that said, it would, in theory, make sense that a coloured belt could beat a black belt in a fight, provided he is a talented martial artist and fighter. This does not make belts useless, though. Belts are very good at keeping a student motivated and giving him set goals to work towards. In my opinion, if a student is only in it to get the black belt and show off, then he does not deserve it, period.

The west has been completely mislead regarding the meaning of a black belt. It has mostly become commercialised and is a material object which is supposed to be proof of ones abilities. Really, one would only receive a black belt when he UNDERSTANDS the art is he is studying. The instructor in this video obviously doesn't know the concept of what he is talking about in most, if not all, his videos and the child is too young to understand what he is doing.

Belts are almost useless now since most blackbelts are as skilled as white belts these days

@davehayes2204 LMAO
One must master the weapon as they must master their own body. The weapon and the warrior must become one; a perfect harmony.
It is not the weapon that is deadly, it is the skilled hand that wields it.
All a weapon does is re-enforce your unarmed skills, so the more weapons that you are 'trying out' the better your hand-to-hand skills will be.
