What is this really?
I don’t get whats the point with this video.
Response:
The video is entitled “Hard Sparring Evaluation Test” so if we must explain the obvious, it is a belt evaluation test of a white belt testing for yellow. What makes it notable is that the man trained hard for 2 months, never having taken a martial arts class in his life and is actually holding his own.
Under the guidance of a good, established school, beginners can start training by video to become a black belt. Remember that I am talking about real Teachers and by this I mean they are religious and reverent to the art. They love the art and they love what they do. Therefore the student studying these courses under these instructors have a way of being tested. The student must either send an approved video, or visit the hosting school for the tests. Visits and testing happen every two weeks or so. I am sure that I could train a beginner from another country to be a black belt but I would still need to achieve this in a more traditional way.
