Episode 12: What does it take to be a Black Belt? | Are there fake Black Belts? | What should Black Belts be able to do?
Tim and Adam discuss one of the Jiu Jitsu community's most sensitive topics - the Black Belt. In this conversation they discuss when Tim felt he was "ready" for his black belt, what Adam feels he still needs to learn before he will be ready, and how each of them define the belt itself. They also discuss whether the black belt is as subjective as the other belts are, and what to work towards as you try to become a black belt yourself.
