A black belt is just a dirty white belt.

I have always wondered what does a black belt of any belt mean to you. Many people i have met take there belt seriously, they dont let it touch the ground dont leave it anywhere where they cant grab it fast. Others believe its just a piece of material that holds your gi top together or holds your pants up. I was just curious what everyone else thought
Wow I'm surprised by the amount of people here that won't let their belt touch the floor and bowing to it etc. That seems crazy to me. It's just part of your kit, mine gets chucked into my gym bag with the rest of my stuff.
In fact I think having a black belt on can be a bit of a pain in the **** sometimes, it means when I'm training with the new guys in class, they expect me to do everything perfectly while the reality is I'm just as much of a student as anyone else there and still regularly make mistakes.

You don't believe that story about a white belt getting dirtier until it became a black belt, do you?
I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who uses the college analogy.Depends specifically on the system and/or instructor but in general I equate a 1st degree BB with a high school diploma.
It is an accomplishment - and an important one from one perspective. For someone who keeps training in MA, though, it's just a stepping stone. From that perspective a 3rd degree might be considered an Associate's Degree, a 5th = Bachelor, 7th = Masters, 9th = Doctorate.
A black belt is someone who kept visiting his school till one day he got a thick black colored strip of cotton around his waste.
Since I seen white belts beat black belts and black belts do drugs and other disrespectful things, I don't see BB as anything more then the person who has some martial arts training.
