In the realm of martial arts, the significance of belt colors has been a topic of much debate and interest. However, it's crucial to remember that the journey of a martial artist transcends the mere display of colored belts. Long ago, the concept of colored belts was non-existent. A martial artist began their journey with a single white belt, symbolizing the start of their path.

As they dedicated years to rigorous training, their belt bore the marks of their hard work and commitment. Over time, the white fabric transformed, darkening with each drop of sweat and effort. This natural progression reflected the student's growth and experience, untainted by the need for external validation or rank.

The most senior students, those who had truly immersed themselves in the art, sported belts that had aged into a dark hue, akin to black. This color wasn't just a representation of their skill level; it was a testament to their journey, resilience, and the wisdom they had gathered along the way.

In today's world, where martial arts are structured with various colored belts, it's essential to remember that the essence of martial arts is not in the color one wears around their waist. A black belt is not merely a possession or a symbol of authority; it is a state of being. It embodies a mindset, a way of life that is committed to continuous learning, humility, and respect.

Being a black belt isn't about having a particular color; it's about embodying the principles and values of martial arts every day. It's a reminder that the journey is endless, that there is always room for improvement, and that the true reward lies in the journey itself, not in the destination.

So, as we tie our belts, regardless of their color, let us remember the rich history and the profound symbolism behind them. Let’s honor the legacy of those who trained before us, embracing the true spirit of martial arts — a journey of personal growth, discipline, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

So this happened yesterday. I’m very honoured to be awarded my 7th Dan by so many top martial artist who have recognised what I have achieved in the 42 years I’ve been training, which started when I was 10 with my uncle Gerald at the kuruma judo club. I never though back then I would ever achieve this amazing achievement. Proud is an understatement, but also I thank every student that I have ever taught as without you I would not be a 7th Dan.
