The UBBT's Curriculum - From Tom Callos
The "ultimate" test is one that challenges the person taking the test --in ways that are important, empowering, significantly beneficial, and meaningful, to THEM. The ultimate test isn't, I think, a test of all the things someone is excellent at, things that aren't genuinely challenging, but is made up of things that are, perhaps, just beyond (or way beyond) the tester's comfort zone and current level of skill. Furthermore, the ultimate test for a 24 year old in his or her youthful prime, wouldn't necessarily be the ultimate test for the 50, 60, or 70 year old.
The concept of The Ultimate Black Belt Test that you, or anyone, can take home, right now, is that every black belt test could --and I think, should --be designed for the individual taking the test, so that it's not just about the physical skills developed and hardship someone has endured to reach a "black belt" level of skill, but is also a life-affirming and spiritually empowering milestone, on any and all levels we might haver the intelligence, creativity, and wherewithal to cultivate as teachers and guides.
