This is on point. White belt rank is a beautiful means to weed out dangerous elements and humble those that can be taught. You're learning self defense, not to be a menace to society.
Some folks want mastery in a week and in that need to feel powerful, become a threat to their peers. Woosah. Enjoy the ride. Shoot... I was this guy... In bujinkan. Couldn't tell me nothing and because of that, I walked home feeling like a truck hit me due to ignoring the fundamentals of rolling. As Dan said, that false sense of confidence, cripples their own potential.
When I was a teenager, my instructor told me that the reason he didn't let people free spar for the first few months was because they needed to do one step and two step to learn how to hold back before free sparring. I argued with him (I was sixteen and knew everything, after all) and so he let me free spar the next person on their first day. They hit like a wrecking ball, and after a few bruises and a few reminders that we were going for light contact, I accidently put my heel out to keep him back... and knocked the wind out of him. I swear, I was just trying to tap, but he couldn't stand for almost ten minutes. I felt horrible and didn't argue with my instructor about anything for hours after that.
Hahaha just hours? I would never argue with him/her again! Hope the other person is alright
@@Baucelion Well... I was sixteen and did know everything...
I miss knowing everything.
The other guy was fine. He kept coming for over a year and only stopped coming with us after a work transferred him to another state.
"Value the white belts, for in their mistakes, many lessons can be learned."
What are you like a shaolin Jedi?
Nah I’m breaking balls just havin a laugh 👍
This was too funny! The actor was hilarious!
I took tang too do in the 80's and it was a running joke that the most dangerous were the white belts. They don't know control and their hits can be unpredictable.
Using "Shiro Obi-san/ Mr. White Belt" you may be able to bring back slap-stick comedy single handedly.
Be humble or be humbled, which applies to both, the white and the black belts. Kiyohido Shinjo Sensei, 9th Dan Uechi Ryu karate master once famously said that even after 50 years of training, he felt he was still “very unskilled”.
Oh my Lord I’ll never forget the time where we had a beginner student who came from another gym. I’m a black belt in karate and I also have American kickboxing experience. I was going late because we were sparring and I’m advanced and this guy kicked me right in the throat heal right in my throat. And just the fact that he was just no matter How many times I told him we’re going like he was trying to knock my head off and just keep hurting me so unfortunately for him I had to turn up the heat and show him the difference that there’s a difference between thinking you can fight and knowing how to fight. After that I never saw him again. But yeah unfortunately it’s not the first time I’ve encountered people or beginners that try to knock your head off for no reason.
I love this video: Yes the White Belt is the most dangerous belt in the dojo. I have black belts in striking arts and I have been doing BJJ for 05 years now . I help the white belts with how to roll and take their time setting up the positions and let them get a feel on how a submission works . It is so true that the white belts look at the senior students for guidance. Unfortunately I didn't know that i was being looked at as well: A while ago I was in my BJJ class warming up in a small section of the gym all to myself practicing my kicks and katas before my BJJ class started . Later during the class several white belts tried to use the kicks and strikes that I was doing earlier . My instructor questioned them where did they see those techniques because BJJ does not use those strikes . The white belts thought that because I was a senior belt that the techniques were part of BJJ. My instructor told them that I have a background in other arts and should only concentrate on the material that he taught during the class as they could get hurt or hurt others during the class. I later explained to them I don't use my striking art during my BJJ class ; I only use it warmed up for class. Keep up the great work on the videos . I hope you will make a video on Karate Kombat regarding Bas Rutten as the host on how different their Karate is to other karate competitions.
Very interesting concept of how dangerous and spazzy they are, but also how observant they are; however most of my beginning students were also some of the most humble. My basic rules were the student had to be willing to learn, had to practice what they learn, and respect the teachings. They had to abide by the basic rules for me to teach them.. However we also had a lot of fun by playing dodge ball, kick ball, and other sports along with the karate. This helped the beginning student learn. I also agree with your concept that white belts have that open mind and see other things. One of the things I did, when teaching full time, was gathering in a circle and sitting down at the end of class and asking each student what they learned and what they observed including the beginning students. We all learned from each other that way. Always enjoy your videos. Oss. Master K, MA.
The best and most accurate video yet. Especially about the grappling arts. All of the examples you had with the white belt going nuts , I have experienced almost all of the examples. Thank you for posting this one, great examples and advice for when I look for a new art to learn and practice this year.
Hi Mr. Dan!
This isn't the first time I've heard of this concept, but seeing as Cobra Kai's season 3 has just come out, I'm pleasantly surprised at how many of the points you gave had great examples within the Cobra Kai fights.
Enters dojo
"I'm here to join"
Wears white belt
Becomes the untouchable in dojo
Love this video! One of my favorite things about the Dojang I attend is that every rank helps teach the rank below them
LMAO... I absolutely love that white belt guy🤣🤣
New people are great. They present a valid challenge to the ideas you've been training.
If your advanced students are losing to a guy fresh off the streets, then you got stuff to work on.
Dude there is sooo much truth to this. I love the videos man. Cheers to 2021.
I’ve been training bjj for 8 years and have been wrestling, judo, boxing, kickboxing and mma for a total of 13 years. And it’s always the new guy who injures someone. I was there as the erratic white belt but now I’m a purple belt in bjj I only get injured by white belts in practice or in transitions during competitions.
I also liked the benefits of training with white belts. I feel in the bjj context it’s best to practice all those self defense scenarios because the white belt does the layman’s approach to grappling.
great video and topic. This is why "Art of one dojo" is one of my favorit martial arts channels.
I had a few examples like this. Local aikido class. Either in my classes people were rough with me or I was being rough too...particularly with joint locks. Its not that the art is super aggressive or dangerous to others but mostly to ourselves when we are not careful. Still my favorite class though. ;) love your channel too by the way.
I love the new intro and new style. LOL! In Living Color, that was a fricking wild show.
I don't practice any martial art and haven't gone back to boxing since high school. I love this content, and it applies to everything. Humbling yourself is the key to progress, and it is specially true in weightlifting.
Great video, should be a required watch for all new black belts.
With White belts you can get a unorthodox fighting style depending if military background or just a natural street fighter as for other ranks it depends on how students progress as for instructor keeping the ego in check will prevent more egos from growing
Well-spoken sir, well-spoken! Happy New Year Dan! Your White belt HAS such enthusiasm, lol. My wife and I are taking up Tai Chi. It's nice to be that white belt again.
In my college karate class, after halfway through the semester, the beginners get to spar and I really enjoyed it, both judging and being in the fight. I see lots of habits that I can see in myself in sparring and giving one to two tips to help them while sparring. You see a lot more with both viewpoints/perspectives. I've see several students pulling their shoulder, when they over extend while punching.
Great video as always!
I’ve always love working with new students who have military combat arms or LEO backgrounds since I’m ex military.
Veterans ;)
@snake79545 why don't you go ahead and have a seat..
Might go to the military, just to feel cool.
@@kingzingo1784 that's a horrible reason
Thanks for all the great content. I also have a background in Kenpo. I really enjoy your videos because they are informative and respectful of different styles. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you!
At my first dojo we got guys like that who wanted to show off I remember this one guy was being extremely aggressive so when we sparred I made him regret going up against me lol
Nice I liked that video. I’ve had troubles with white belts too.
Yellow belts are tied or maybe second. I see so many people get their yellow belts and they sometimes feel like they achieved it easily and now over estimate their skills
True! The only times I ever got hurt during training was by kids who just had gotten orange belts and thought they were Bruce Lee now...
great video dan
My teacher was not soft to us I did end up with injuries, he punched us on our stomach and we did that to each other. He spared with us heavy and suffocated me so many times that I lost count, made us break boards, punch the wall hard, hit each other's shins and he even kicked me on my head several times when I was around 11 and was a white belt (that I had to earn) I never spoke about my discipline to no one. Two years later I was an orange belt (no belt, white, purple, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black) and in 8th grade some kid asked a bully if he could kick my ass, of course he said yes I'm not a violent guy so I tried to deescalate the situation but when he punched me on my stomach as hard as he could I said to my self out loud from shock "That didn't hurt at all" and it frightened him.
Good points. Experienced senpai and masters should always be cognizant when it is time to TELL a white belt to tap.
EXACTLY!

My friends dad used to own a dojo (they taught several forms of martial arts) and I’d kinda hang out after school, I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve seen a cocky newby get a swift ass beating from pushing the wrong buttons. It was kinda funny cause it usually happened so fast no one even had time to think about stopping it
1. I was the same way as a white belt. growing up in competitive sports, I always had the mind set to go full out. It wasn't until I started helping out in kids class that I realized I was being too aggressive.
2. The most common phrases said to a white belt...
- "SLOW DOWN"
- "Tap the gi but not the person inside it."
- "It's not about power, it's about aim."
- "Your belt came undone."
As a black belt I started to make an effort to spa lower belts. This partner had been in the class regularly for about 4 months or so and only just got their kumite gear so I decided I would spa him. He is around 40ish and unbeknownst to me he had 20 years of boxing behind him and it was quite eye opening how he found quite good holes in my guard although he has a lot to work on his guard for his head is amazing I learned a lot that class.
I learned so much from being an instructor about not being able to judge someone who walks through the front door. Muscle bound guys who couldn't throw a punch to save their lives and wiry men or women that could hit me three times before I could do anything.
Excellent new topic to commence the new year Sensei Dan! Indeed beginners pose new positive, as well as negative challenges, for more advanced and seasoned martial artists. As mentioned the risks, are that they do not know their own limitations, when it comes to practising striking techniques, or throwing, submissions and ground fighting techniques.
On the other hand they provide as you mentioned, a realistic perspective to see if as a senior well trained practitioner, an individual has learned it to apply their training in a realistic and effective manner, against a non trained, non complaint person on the street, in an actual self defense, confrontation.
White belts need to be guided, motivated and and inspired by a senior student. However if that whie belt has already learned another martial arts style, then that does not make them entirely a complete novice. Underestimating them can be dangerous, especially when it comes to actual, free combat sparring, as dismissing them as just a beginner, could end up in a senior student being knocked out, or outclassed as a result of an egotistical, invincible and insolent mentality. In a grappling art the same concept would apply if a Jujutsu student, would have to pair up with a judo or wrestling student, assuming that they are going to school the wrestling student all the way, during their rolling or ground fighting practice. The wrestling or judo student will most likely be equally as good at submissions or take downs, or ground fighting defense, as the Jujutsu student at their martial arts school.
I say it is best to be confident, as well as positive in your own abilities, yet humble, cautious and open minded, but most of all patient and open minded, when it comes to new white belts. Happy new year Sensei Dan and all the best throughout this 2021, to you and the Art of One Dojo family, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋🤟✌👍👊😊🙏
This video is super awesome, love it true through in through .
Love the new intro.
Like the new intro
As a 20 year 2nd Dan white belt , danger is my middle name
Thank you keep training and stay safe.
When I started BJJ, I had a guy say he loved grappling White belts because we were so interesting in things we will try. Never knows what we will try to do to escape and we can be dangerous
watch out for nails.
Loved White Belt Zach and the very humorous B-roll! You guys could have done silent movies back in the day...
For me, the #1 tell of a white belt who might have previous experience would be a correctly tied belt! Most beginners have the knot tied wrong, wear their belt too high and tight, and the ends are uneven. If I see someone wearing a white belt that looks good, I'll ask if they've had any previous training. Usually they have.

@@ArtofOneDojo Will do! Sending an email shortly.
One of the most important things that we learn is control. It's not enough to know a technique, being able to control power, distance, and direction is critical. Unfortunately the development of control takes a lot more time than merely learning the technique. This is the danger presented by new students. I've been injured a couple of times by new students who didn't have control. The more advanced students put ourselves out there for practice, and the new students get overexcited and completely blow it. Sometimes it feels like it isn't fair, especially for those of us who DIDN"T injure anyone in our early days. But all students bring their own personality to the game, and it's just the way that training works.
Our school emphasizes that new students learn simple techniques that allow them to escape and run, rather than to fight back. Then as students advance, we learn new techniques that allow us to stand our ground. This way, new students gain immediate real-world applicability without as much danger of getting into a situation that they aren't prepared for.
So true, if you can do a technique slowly with control you can do it fast with power.
Nice video Dan and great to see Zach! 😁👍
Some white belts have no place in martial arts training...like the rude drunk bully types. I find they are the most difficult to teach, but can take a beating. They usually don't get very injured due to being sauced... but they sure do feel it the next day.
I never knowingly allow impaired students to participate... but many slip by initial screening until you catch a whiff of their breath or sweat...or get a black eye, or a broken jaw. You need to thoroughly screen newbie white belts, protect the dojo integrity, other practitioners, and have a damn good insurance policy.
Bruh who does training drinking!
@@chrisgould101 my dojo was next to a bar at the time unfortunately...so we had some people fueled by liquid courage come in once in a while...I couldn't believe it myself...the early 1990's. 🙄
@@williamw1332 I'm a drinker and it's a no from me ! Afterwards sure . I'm doing kyokushin so drinking just doesnt equate to it. I drink about a liter of water innevery session so thats fine with me lol
@@chrisgould101 thats my kind of drinking...Mizu in the dojo and Sake afterwards 😁👍
I was that quiet, shy, awkward white belt that just wanted to learn.
Now I'm that quiet, scary black belt that wants to learn even more!
100% right. One of my white belts went kind of far with their excitement. After a couple of months they calmed down and now they are a yellow belt. As an instructor I have learned from my white belts and other belts as I am having to hold the pads for them. Pad holding is a whole different art in itself.
I tell new people, "Take a scale of 1-10. 1 is no pain. 10 is broken. Tap at 5. And relax."
12:39 oh yes! I know at least two black belts who should take that advice to heart!
Where I learned Tae Kwon Do red belt was a huge transition, and I was a brown belt trying to get my red belt for two years. During that time I would get paired up with just about anybody, cuz I was right smack in the middle. Anyways, I was always scared when paired up with someone just above white; like yellow, orenge or even green. Most the time white belts were very nervous and didnt kick hard at all (which is what we were suppose to do in light sparing), but once they gain a little confidence, they'll start WILDLY kicking and going crazy. They might fall over, hurt themselves, get the wind kicked out of them, but they dont care, their only goal in life is to kick the crap out of your shins -.-
Really like this video Mr Dan it's so true. In karate there are 2 belts that are most dangerous white and brown. White belts have no control and are easily panicked there strikes are wild which is why there often only allowed to free spar with black belts or used distanced pre arranged kumite. Brown belts are dangerous because they have the skill of the black belts but due to the pressure of the upcoming Dan grade they don't quite have full control and can become overheated in sparring. Regardless of rank humility and a passion to learn is important and I love to see white belts excited when they learn something new.
Very well said!
Very true!
I always tap out before I pass out yep usually happens during warm ups
I wish I could be a white belt in JJ again, and while we're at it, I wish I was 25 years old again.
This rings very true.
@@ArtofOneDojo If any knows where I can find the fountain of youth, or where I can have any medical procedure to make me bionic or super human, please let me know.
Love your channel
Thanks!
The training is to not learn how to hurt but learning ones spiritual, mental and physical motions and and to how flow and crash in our ever changing universal ocean.
Amazing video
Very quickly becoming an uber fan of your channel:)
Well thank you! I sincerely hope you stick around and continue enjoying the content :)
@@ArtofOneDojo I'll be around for as long as you keep putting such quality work. Unfortunately quality is a rare commodity within martial arts on video sharing sites.
5:45 I laughed my butt off😂😂😂
I knew this would happen, I love it!
Love your username!
Yeah😂
I made this mistake of thinking I was hot stuff on my first day in a Shotokan school because I had a purple belt from a McDojo. I sparred with a shotokan green belt and never brought up my fake purple belt again.
The reason I failed my Yellow Belt test the first time was I was too focused on intensity in sparring. In other words, I was so focused on winning that my technique went to shit.
Also, I have noticed these things that MALE White Belts tend to do wrong when sparring against females:
With female white belts, they often hold back too much out of fear of hurting her. The concern is valid, but you need to give her enough force to help her train against resistance but not so much to hurt her. Remember, she is learning from you when you spar as well as the instructors.
When they spar against a female with a higher belt, they either take her too lightly or go too hard. Taking her too lightly is disrespectful because she earned her belt like any male of the same rank did. Going too hard against an experienced practitioner puts them in the position to either try to show you what you are doing wrong the hard way or they might disengage early from you to prevent you hurting yourself, which robs you of the maximum potential of learning from them.
Either way men, when you are training martial arts, there is no such thing as male and female practitioner. You are a fellow student like they are and they deserve the same respect.
So I joined Ninjutsu recently. Wanted to see the art for myself. My wife who is a short pixie by comparison of my size, was doing some stuff for the sensei while I was the opponent. The sensei says to my wife, "Okay now I am going to let you do what you want", and says to me "Just push her back or block her off a little". I turn around to face my arch rival and she whacked me in the face before I could even look at her. My nose bled on and off for two days. A few days later, similar thing, different Sensei. Sensei asks her to show him a technique to the face in slow speed to see if the technique is correct. So she punched me in the ribs and took the wind from me. Then proceeded to do a "Victory hop". But I could not help notice the look of confusion and at the same time pride in our Sensei's faces while I watched the class laugh at the situation from the floor. When my mouth stopped frothing and I could breathe, I realized I had joined Ninjutsu to help recover from a serious injury and the wife would support me. Instead, I have created a monster. A tiny, confident monster who happens to have access to a whole kitchen of silverware and sharp knives. Guys please, Training your wives in the use of Stealth, Espionage and Poison techniques hits different when you didn't fix that one thing you left hanging for 3 months...
I know what this is like! I'm a pretty small guy, so many times I've had new guys come into my BJJ class and end up trying to drag me around and using their weight and strength to rough me up! Pisses me off. I even had a guy come from another club and said he'd only done a few classes but when I rolled with him he was obviously much more experienced than he said, he caught me in a choke and didn't let go for ages then he was like "oh were you tapping?" Prick!
Thanks for the video.please tell us about enshin karate.
New students are scary. I was a scary new student. Now I pick them for the challenge of keeping us safe.
That was funny! Got a kick out of it. No pun intended.
Agree to disagree. It has been my experience that the ranks just prior to black belt. (Brown, Red, etc) While I agree that beginners (white belts) can be a bit spazzy and lack self-control. But pre-black belt students tend to get big heads and think they know it all or have something to prove. This results in a lot of the same issues you discuss with the while belts, only the advanced ranks have more knowledge. Few pre-black belts understand that black belt isn't the end goal, it is just the first step towards the goal of mastery.
Hello Master Dan, whats your thoughts on chuck norris system martial arts? There's a new place by me thats well respected in the Norris circle but wondering if its more of a name type of fighting or good martial art. Thanks, big fan of your videos and thanks for inspiring me to get in shape and learn the martial arts!
I can’t speak for the instructors at the school in your area, but Chuck has many years training in tang soo do, Tae Kwon do, and lots of cross training in other arts. Any of his students who put in the work would be trained as good as any other. Forget the name brand, watch a class of beginners and a class of the advanced and see for yourself.
@@VikingMale thanks will do!
I don't have any personal experience with it so I can't give an honest opinion, but I would be curious to give it a try.
@@ArtofOneDojo from what I ve found out that the chuck norris sytem is a modified tang soo do base with some bjj and krav maga in it as well, sounds interesting.
Nice Crane Kick 🤣
I've heard that the white belt flying crane kick is the most dangerous kick there is.
Awesome video yes it had to be made
Yup.. I've been that over zealous while belt before. In Karate YEARS ago. And in Bjj about 10sh years ago. In Bjj. I went for the arm bar, as instructed. But I WANTED THAT TAP OUT! I was all hung ho about it. Hurt myself! And almost tore up my partners elbow because of it... I had seen these things done before. I wanted to try n do it. Thought I knew how.. I didn't quote. As you said. Finess. I was trying to muscle my way into the technique. I got put an RNC later on for my efforts. Humbled to say the least. It was the same person I had previously rolled with. And he didn't exactly make it easy. He made sure I KNEW I needed to slow down! Haha! He was a student as well. But a yellow belt. I was also taking Tae Kwon Do at the time. And was a bit of a cocky hot head at the time anyway. I had just recently started sparring in TKD.. which I was.. OK at. But nonetheless. I had that ego. Would like to get back into bjj eventually. But just signed a year contract for kickboxing fitness class.. sorry for the lengthy post. Love the video.
Nice video
When I was a white belt in Judo, one day during sparring I went and executed a Tomoenage out of nowhere on a black belt. To this day I wonder what the hell I was thinking.
You weren't thinking, that's why it worked. Mushin.
Simply because a person has a white belt does not mean they are lousy fighters. I knew a white belt who had spent several months at training camps. He was INVINCIBLE!!!
Never said they were lousy fighters...just said that a lot of new students tend to be spazzy and wild when they start. Also what you explained about the guy having several months at a camp...that counts a "previous experience".
No DISRESPECT I ENJOY THE CHANNEL 👍👍👍👍👍
I am a white belt at my 27 in Judo. Today came a 16 year old much stronger and excited to his first class. He threw over his hip and kind of pinned my knee and it over extended and cracked. Damn! I am okay but it hurted at the moment. But what I mean is, you white belts control it!. Nobody cares if you don't know what to do or if you continuously fall, that's starting. And in Judo you are going to fall every class. Please don't take me out of train. Don't try to do nothing fancy because you won't controll it. It's incredible when a black belt comes to me he/she wins me and I feel nothing. When a white belt comes to me the tend to use full power without technique and they hurt you!
Jajajaja That knockout was Funny!
White belt is a dangerous belt as they know some. But may have no knowdledge or control of how dangerous what they have learned. After having trained for 7 years and leaving the sport for 20 years i have returned to the dojo. But having to relearn alot.
I seen teakwondo white belts and this goes with kids who been there for 6 weeks to who got there 2nd rank aswell. There to extratic they seen alot of TV martial arts on tv and see other students saying I can do that and then without knowing the knowledge and structure look ridiculous or simply pulled a muscle. I also seen natural talented white belts who didn't know anything did it perfectly then becomes cocky though out training thinking they can take on the master. I seen this mainly done in mcdojo at times. I didn't see this but I was at one but caught the signs left after covid. I promised myself I will not be like that.
White Belts are there to remind us of our mistakes.
I like to watch the guy flop around hahaha 😂
Could you do a vid on what and experience would be like for and experienced martial artist like say a person who has been kickboxing for a year or a year and a half maybe two two go into a similar martial art and easy example maybe a muay thai fighter going into a kyokushin dojo is there any expectation are the instructors informed of your background, should they be informed of your background and how will your knowledge of your art prior to this one impact on your grading progress like would it be possible to get a white belt in like 3 or 4 mths as oppose to 6 to probably 7mths/8 mths like would they progress you faster because of your knowledge of your art prior being that its kinda similar to the current one you practition now? Like how muay thai fighters are so well conditioned like kyokushin and how they fight close quarters like how kyokushin fighters do it once you have basic etiquette skills down, like saying osu, or meditation, or the dojo kun?? And would this continue for you to keep getting quick progress as the curriculum gets harder and it expands. Also with sparring do you spar the way you normally would or do you change depending on what the instructor tells you like for example kyokushin fighter hands aren't close to there face where as muay thai fighter's hands are close so do you chane because of knowledge you have or because you learn with kyokushin in dojo you spar with kyokushin in dojo will the instructor normally care and if you fell you can can you go bare knuckle against a black belt even though you're a white belt just cause you're an experienced fighter will the instructor allow to?? Can anyone help me out in case he doesn't see this comment does anyone have experience with this situation and has any knowledge on what you and and what should be done?? Please help im reeaallly curious!!??
There is a lot to address here but I'll comment on a couple of things.
First, I think you should always inform your instructor if you have previous experience. This shows trust and transparency but it may also help the instructor understand the skill you may have and they might be able to tailor a program for you.
Second, if you are at a new school and sparring...that could be interesting. Generally speaking, you should probably try to employ a lot of the new stuff you learn, but I think it's ok to blend it with what you already know. Definitely something to talk to your instructor about.
@@ArtofOneDojo ok thanks very much for your reply on the subject this really helped me.
This guy in Funakoshi Shotokahn told me white belts kumite are the most brutal.
It’s good to have a special first day training routine to break the newbies into the style. E.g.: When I teach Arnis I lead people through a brutal montage of upper body warmups and cardio. Then we practice grappling with the stick for an hour. I love Day One.
I've only been kicked in the groin by white belts. They are indeed the most dangerous fighters out there. Unintentional training on what to do should you get kicked out on the streets. I wouldn't recommend this kind of training, but eventually you can manage to continue to fight rather than double over in pain.
14:54
My sensai told me it would improve my technic. An I also teamed with black belts
Great video 👏🏼
If you're going to join a fighting style then you have to take it seriously especially on the first day. That one way the white belt rank won't be dangerous belt, and it something all white belts should understand especially if they're beginning.
I'm guessing that Zach is, at least, a 1st degree black belt.
He wouldn't be a White Belt Zach then would he?
White belts are great training partners.
I don’t fear white belts but my testicles do. ☹️😣😖
I am a nedan what is the difference between nidan, 2nd Dahn and a 2nd degree black belt. Please can you tell me not found a plausible explanation yet.
Different ways to say the same thing. Nidan means "Second Dan". Dan and Degree are the same thing. Degree is the English version of it, "Dan", pronounced "Dahn", is Japanese. It's all the same thing.
