Black Belt Degrees Explained.

[@kellyboje5674]

Great video! It's getting me pumped about my Second Degree next summer

[@asdf9C]

If you get value out of it, great; for me, going from 1st to 2nd, from a strong master; i literally got no value out of it.

[@THEECYBERMACKIN]

Lady my cousin would wash you

[@pdawg2716]

Dude you are so underrated. You deserve way more views and subscribers. I consider you one of the few best martial arts KZbinrs out there. Fantastic videos and message

[@masterschiele4265]

humble thank you.

Thank you for explaining that a 6th degree black belt requires more than 20 years of training - which includes international competitions - which you didn't mention but I suspect that is required - similar to reaching the highest levels in Chess - to become a world expert, a person is compared with other world experts - which would also include being a world expert in the history of our Earth, a world expert in dance choreography, a world expert in healing herbs, a world expert in garden design for edible ornamentals, a world famous operatic diva and so on.

[@masterschiele4265]

Thank you for your input. Great stuff.

[@usnpinoy]

Depends on your system. Kukkiwon and the original Kwans require Year minus one for each Dan Grade. SO a 2nd Dan would only need 1 year as a 1st Dan to test, or a 6th degree would need 6 years to test for 7th.

You are doing an amazing job Sir. Keep it up.

[@Andychangftw]

Awesome video Master Schiele and really nice thumbnail too! Glad to see this video has already performed well early and will continue to thrive as time goes on. ASAH!!!!

[@masterschiele4265]

Thank you sir!

[@milundekic45]

1st to 2nd is 1 year for my school. 2nd to 3rd is 2 years. And it goes on.

[@kotla671]

Very informative and motivating!

[@masterschiele4265]

Humble Thank You!

[@michelleschmitt5506]

I have been taught how to instruct since yellow belt which is the second belt at my studio

[@masterschiele4265]

nice!

[@gunsandreviewsa]

I ❤your videos keep up the good work sir

[@masterschiele4265]

humble thank you.

[@gunsandreviewsa]

If you make another make one about loyalty to your school that's a subject that need to be talked about

[@tonyslaughter8954]

Take all those belts and insert them with the time it took from your white belt until your first degree. Then it becomes even more impressive. It shows growth and also determination.

[@danielduplantis6469]

Master Schiele, what lineage is your Taekwondo? I find it interesting that the red stripe for your system indicates teen/tween. In a lot of Korean systems that belt denotes master rank. Not criticizing here, I’m always curious to learn about various lineages in martial arts with their distinct traditions!

[@masterschiele4265]

We are ITF Tae Kwon Do however this was a system of rank we designed to help distinguish the difference in age of black belts. Thank you for your feedback.

[@Oranges743]

Gray black girl I was the highest karate bell in my class, but I’m still a yellow black belt🤯

[@thegalacticcouncil7045]

A raggedy black belt can also mean its been washed a bunch of times too....😂 There are under color belts that train extra hard too...but the belts aren't raggedy!....I'm just saying 😊

[@Josh-x3m6v]

Is this art spiritual or can anyone do it without a spiritual aspect?

[@michaelhartman8884]

ITF Tae Kwon Do doesn't require spiritual stuff. When I tested for 1st degree black belt, I was more focused on the laws of physics, generating speed and proper targeting (velocity?) for my kicks (to do board breaks), than I was anything spiritual in nature.

[@danielduplantis6469]

Taekwondo in general does not have a religious component. Even the Kukkiwon textbooks have no mention of spirituality. I know many ordained ministers like myself who’ve done our homework and have incorporated our faith into our training and vice versa.

[@michaeltrujillo6799]

I was wondering if you became a Purple Belt in ATA and move to a different school that is ITF are you still a Purple Belt or do you have to start all over? 🤔🤔

[@nexftw6959]

It depends on the school, sometimes they might evaluate you and place maybe a little bit lower than purple belt. Other schools might start you over.

[@michaeltrujillo6799]

@@nexftw6959 I love your videos. Thanks for replying to my question. 🥋👍🏻

[@michaeltrujillo6799]

I’m starting my new school today and I’m going to be a Purple Belt. I’m so excited, I can’t wait. 🥋💜🇰🇷

[@jseasterman]

Practice. 5 hours a day minimum. That's not all. A well practiced green belt can destroy a casually practiced black belt. There are very lethal moves and deadly force ensconced in the Green Belt poomse I practiced green belt level 5 hours a day for months. &h, that was weird. Started overdosing mems multi-vitamins because I was pissing white. No more yellow piss The most I practiced was 6 hours a day. That's Olympic level pursued for 6 years.

[@73richg]

So 1st degree to second degree black belt is 1 year or 2 years? If it’s 2 years it took a total of 3 years to be a 2nd degree black belt?

[@masterschiele4265]

Black belt to first degree is 1 year, first degree to second degree is two years, and so forth. These are the minimum years required could always take longer. Thank you for watching.

[@ninjascoob]

@@masterschiele4265 black belt is 1st degree so not sure where your getting this one year timeframe from 🤷‍♂️. It took me 4 years from white belt to 1st Dan, then 2 years to 2nd Dan, 3 years to 3rd Dan etc

[@masterschiele4265]

@@ninjascoob Thanks for your feedback. There are two ways it works. Some schools automatically start black belts as first degrees, while others start with Black Belt and earn the first degree black belt about a year later. I've trained through both systems. Thank you for your input.

[@ninjascoob]

@@masterschiele4265 thank you for your reply. I’ve learned something new today as I never knew that was even a thing. I appreciate the lesson 🙏
