| my school gives out junior black belts to kids as younge as 10. they can test for an 'adult' black belt at age 13. i've been able to beat many of these black belts in sparring since i was 8th gup. they're just so little that i can keep them away with my legs and i don't have to try hard because their kicks don't hurt. i don't think your really ready to get a black belt until at least age 16-18. i myself wont be testing until i'm 18 and i probably still can't hold my own to some of the people in my class. |
