If you took Karate back in the day, you were one of a very few. You were probably tougher than the average joe and you probably had some skill.
Today, Karate is so manufactured that it's sad. Parents spend a ton of money to get junior to go to karate lessons so his ginger ass doesn't get stomped on in school. But do they really learn anything or do they just get to drop the........."Don't F with me, I'm a 2nd degree blackbelt"?
Bull crap. Parents spend all of this money at the Cobra Kai Dojo and Sensei has no choice and obligated to graduate his 7 year olds into yellow & green belts. That's ridiculous.
I saw an overprivileged, soft, upper middle class kid with his green belt heading into the YMCA. First off, you don't become a badass learning your KungFoo at the Y.
I saw him and was like, Nana Betty with her osteoporosis could kick your ass. You wouldn't even be able to defend yourself. You couldn't even defend yourself in a game of Space Invaders fat boy.
I've seen in first hand where a 4 year old graduated to a yellow belt simply because enough money had been spent and enough time had past, yet simple instructions such as "look at me, and stop biting you nails" could not be followed.
If that's really all it takes to be a certifiable ninja, becoming a blackbelt should be on a short list of things to accomplish in life.
