Actually I have seen 5 year old black belts. Sometimes they are skunk belts with the white stripe down the middle. Plenty of places where a BB requires a check book not skill.
“The road to becoming a black belt has been a long, trying one for Brittany, requiring several hours of training and a rigorous review of everything she has learned since she started her karate lessons.”
But still, 6 nights a week from 5:45 to 9, that’s pretty damn good. She manages to keep that up, why, when she grows up she might actually merit a black belt and a hefty dose of fear
Good for her. All a black belt means she can do what is necessary to pass the test. She is an athlete. My sister was an accomplished gymnast at 8 and a state champion at 10.
The article did NOT say anything about her being able to fight or defeat adult sized attackers. The articles that do are the ones that I have a problem with.

Well, at least it shows she does not suffer from ADD…
And better than sitting on your ass in front of a computer… Looks at own post count.
DOH!!!
