I've been running into some real assholes who have black belts on lately. I could elaborate on my personal situation but it would be redundant. I find more ego's in the higher ranks in belt systems than I ever saw in my 6 years kickboxing.
A black belt the other day at my BJJ club tried to get me to admit to him that he "is capable of doing anything he wants to me" when the truth is this....
Perhaps sir, you could defeat me in a dual. However, with my training in other arts of the martial variety I'd advise you against it. You sir are a competent BJJ practitioner, but in the words of the great Mike Perry "I am a black belt with these hands."
Look, I don't think I'm that dangerous. I do have years of training in kickboxing/boxing with one full contact bout which leads me to believe that is this 45 year old man who only has grappling tried to "do anything to me"... he might get KTFO ....
That is one example of it, but I don't think the belts do anything good for anyone and should have never been adopted to begin with. The white belt was originally meant to hold a GI on and became black after years of training. Not this multicolored, hand out, club politic based, ego inflating garbage it has become.
