    I agree, I also dislike the commercialization of martial arts. However, I do feel that tournaments and belt rankings do have their place. For the longest time I insisted that I did not need a belt to validate my ability, but now I really feel that I would like to work towards a black belt, I don’t know, maybe I just caved to peer pressure! Nevertheless, I feel like I have a healthy understanding of what a black belt means. I view it as a mark of commitment and dedication. Also, the belt system allows me to have a tangible indicator of my progress. I guess I am trying to say that belts are important to me, but, its the journey not the destination that matters.
    Thanks for reading, I know I am rambling!

    Hi everyone
    My name is Liam Elliott I am enrolled in Shotokan Karate. I have quite an extensive history as a beginner in multiple martial arts. I often joke that I know the first move in every martial arts! A distinct lack of focus continues to be one of my struggles! I do however have six years of experience in Savate.

    I would like to achieve a black belt, I am no longer interested in a combat mind set, Shotokan for me will represent my ability to focus my efforts an achieve a set goal.

    Thanks for reading!
