I just came back, from receiving my blackbelt and certificate. I have been waiting for this day since the start of my white belt martial arts career, and now it has finally came. I am finally a certified blackbelt, and It feels so great since as soon as I put on that belt i felt different. The belt itself is twice the size and twice the length. Engraved upon it in Korean is my name and my blackbelt level which is Dan 1 (sub teacher). Here is a picture of my loot:

Th pour of hard work has finally payed of with that one moment! It feels way different when wearing a blackbelt, and I feel SUPERIOR!! :D The master, instructor, and other blackbelts were there, what an awesome night!

technically 3.5 , but blackbelt in my martial arts means the beginning of the road since there r 10 levels of blackbelt. Blackbelt 1 which is mine took 1 year study, blackbelt 2 takes 2 years and so on. Only 1 blackbelt 10 is there which is the current grand master Meyoung Jae Ok

Oh that makes a bit more sense then I suppose.

I just remember progression through each belt is a lot easier in the US than in the "native" martial arts countries since the US ignores the mental aspect of progression pretty much.

I don't know what you're talking about. Japan is known for having easier black belt examinations. This is just a facet of their mentality. People in areas like the United States view the black belt as much more of an accomplishment, signifying at least some degree of mastery while the Japanese view it as merely the first step in a long journey.

Congratulations on your black belt.

nice, i'm a black belt in hapkido. it sure felt nice to finally get one. however, my dojo requires 1 dan black belts to review all of the old techniques before learning new stuff so it got kind of dull to me. i hope you guys get to learn some new stuff as black belts haha.

i agree with DragoonPK

a common misconception for those who do not study or practice martial arts for an extended period of time is to assume that black belt is the "ultimate level".

i remember when i got my black belt in taekwondo they had a very serious 30 minute lecture about how white through red belts were just to get the fundamentals down. now that we were black belts we could actually start learning taekwondo.
