Workout Belt
Black belt test: What were you required to do?
Just glancing around at various answers but YA is being stupid on me for some reason.
I’m reading that some people have had to jog/do workouts (situps etc) mind me asking what this is for?
Like how is running & working out part of a black belt test, as far as i’m aware a black belt is a student trained in techniques that can perform them & has an understanding of what he/she is doing on each technique + the history of the art NOT fitness but it seems to be a regular occurence?
Fitness is a requirement, but I do find it hard to believe that part of the test would be a fitness routine such as running and push-ups. This is really something that should be noticed on a daily basis when it comes to practice. The person would be winded or flushed and unable to keep up with the class routines if they were out of shape. On top of that, I do not consider push-ups and running to be a part of a karate syllabus. There are many other things that must be known and the student must be able to execute techniques properly in the proper circumstance. After all, we are learning a martial art, not jazzersize! If the martial art is not physically draining enough, why put in a fitness routine and add it to the syllabus?
My testing consisted of the full kata range; short form range; weapons range; interpretation at black belt level for each kata, spontaneously and from every angle of attack, multiple attackers included; concept emphasis for each kata; and historical origin; history of the system itself; bunkai; weapons spar with multiple weapons and attackers, including barehanded against weapons; streetwise self defense awareness and articulation; full spar of every person in the dojo including multiple attackers; and personal view on my purpose of study including when to use it.
Let me tell you, if you need to do a fitness routine after doing a full range of kata, all of the interpretations and sparring too… then something’s not being done right. My several hour testing was non-stop physical action on my part until the very end where I had to think and remember lineage, and history, concepts and meaning while completely exhausted. (I was in the military at the time and just graduated high school from spending four years in their athletics program. I held fitness records at several of the military bases and this testing still wore me out.)
