opr1945
Black Belt
When I started this journey I knew nothing about martial arts, let alone Karate. Here are some of the things I learned in no particular order:
1. originally students just always wore a white belt which eventually turned black with use.
2. Karate was created by poor peasants to protect themselves from hostiles.
3. The weapons used by early practitioners were all just farm implements.
4. Martial Arts were brought from India to China by Bodhidharma In the 6th, or so, century.
5. The art of Karate is hundreds of years old.
From what I now understand the accuracy of these statements is questionable.
Opinions?
