1) Figure out your own path-- where you want to go and how you can get there-- and then concentrate on your path without worrying too much about the paths of others. If your path involves multiple arts, don't let anyone tell you you can't. If other people are getting their black belts before you or are in what you think are McDojos, don't let it bother you too much. If you have a family and a full time job and only want to do it for the exercise a few days a week, don't compare yourself to the super karateka who train six days a week. Concentrate on your path and work as hard as you want to accomplish your own personal goals. Be satisfied with yourself and your journey. Everything else is immaterial.
2) A black belt is just a white belt who never quit. Probably the single best martial arts quote I've heard and it motivates me now to just keep on truckin' through the challenging times. |
Solid post!!

| One thing I would say is to take a free class if the school offers it, and ask around. |

My advise to people starting a martial art:
Work hard.
Never neglet the basics.
Improve with every technique executed.
Give it your all, mind and body.
Perform every technique with earnesty.
A black belt is just a color, not a goal.
Enjoy yourself.
