Wow - so many critical comments displaying such little understanding and such little respect. Respect is at the heart of martial arts - please show some for yourselves.

how did all these over weight americans get the black belt????

[ndileonardo]

@jerryx2000 Jerry be nice. Thanks to obamacare, all of these nice older retired folks can afford karate training at their nursing home :)

@mcronrn come on....look at the performance we see.i mean we surely should respect each other but blackbelts seem like giveaways sometimes.they are technically at a level of 8th or 7th kyu in my opinion.

[Alidusful]

Hmmm, fat or slim, strong or weak, muscle or lean, small os tall, young or old, Does all these have importance in martial art??? I've seen green belt beat a black belt in a Jujitsu competition . . . You don't become a good street fighter by your age or body type. In all martial art schools, respect are taught first, so try not to forget the first lecon my friend.

@PnutButter1986 haha! ive never been to the UK but im sure you got some talent,it is how hard you train after all..oss! good luck with your training.

I respect the fact they want to learn karate. What I don't understand is how come they got their black belt ? I have some friends who are even yellow belt and have better maegeri. (I am brown belt by the way) I know that the color of the belt doesn't count, it's not everything and I have to train many years to get a true black belt, so be it and I'll be glad. But you can't possibly get a black belt with this level

@Spiral8leaf I'm 8th kyu UK and I can kick better than some of those 'senseis' who are in kihon. Some of them aren't snapping their leg back which is one of the first things I learned in Karate. Why is America filled with so many McDojos..

@jerryx2000 Ignorance at it's finest.

@Spiral8leaf true

[boabmax]

keep in time some ok rest take of that gi 

[Spiral8leaf]

too many people in one dojo!! these guys are pretending to be black belts,it is a sad video..no kime and if i had to stomp my foot on the ground after doing a mea geri like they do my sensei would stop,take out my hard landing foot underneath me and i would fall on my face.mae geri is no basai dai,only the sound of gi's snapping and sweat fallling must be heard..ps im 5th kyu,south africa.
