This is true. It is a bad thing when a black belt makes someone arrogant.

A black belt can be a thing or a person. When the black belt is a person that is totally different then when a person is just wearing a black belt.
I believe for all of us that have earned black belts our belt is a special and unique thing for each of us. |

Black Belts have to be earned through consistency of good,solid training, and sheers determination, for example.
On my 1st Dan grading, it started out fibe, then I developed an awful migrane and started to vomit. I was vomiting non-stop on and off for the whole grading.Karate-Ronin kept asking me to sit down, but I wouldn't because I wanted the belt so much despite feeling like total garbage.
I think that anywhere along the lines of what I have just said shows that you are mentally ready to achieve a black belt grade.

Moobrak sounds like you earned your belt. I had a similar experience getting my 5th kyu.
Everyone of my strips of cloth have a special meaning to me and a set of different stories and struggles behind them.
My faded threadbare 1st kyu belt is really ragged and a real treasure. |
