Are You A Black Belt ?

Found this watch company called Black Belt Watches ! It's a different
looking watch that is "evidently" only available to Black Belts. Basically
you supposedly have to have an Official Black Belt Rank Certificate to
get one ! In any case..I thought this was interesting and would show
you guys. The watch has a Swiss Made self-winding mechanical
movement. It's case is satin finished PVD and the strap is calf skin and
pierced rubber. The watch has 100m water resistance also. A steel
sandblasted bezel is stamped with polished characters as well. Along
with a five level dial featuring various shades of black on it. With a
stamped and engraved Black Belt emblem, Kendo Sword hands, and
a dial pattern which looks like Kimono fabric. The case back even says..
"For Black Belt Only ." Here is a link and picture for you..Enjoy !

Gotta love them kids aye Alan!

Well, I didn't make it to black belt (not even close) so I'm out. Cool watch though just way too expensive.

The other way to get one is to win a fight with a black belt...

I guess there is always Ebay for us non Black Belts !
Still a bit expensive though !

My son and I both achieved 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I was into TaeKwonDo for a couple years and didn't really dedicate myself to it. I should have stuck it out but girls caught my attention at an early age. Noah, it's funny you wouldn't have gotten into TaeKwonDo when you were in Korea since it's basically a national pastime for Koreans. They actually have to join the army for 3 years and reach black belt status.

In Korea all the real dudes Know TaeKwonDo is for Girls ...

...and that's when the fight started.

One of my buddies got into Wing Chun, at one point in time we were on an equal level when we sparred. After 2 years of Wing Chun he could kick my butt in anyway he saw fit. I stopped sparring with him obviously.

Great picture and accomplishment Breez !!!
Looks like you both could get one of the
Black Belt watches if you wanted to.

Well the short one is almost as tall as me now.

VERY cool sir ! I think this watch
would be honored to be on both of your
wrists !

I've been in martial arts more than 15 years now, it all started with classical wrestling, then came boxing, kickboxing...but I needed something more violent and then...muay thai, probably most interesting martial art, been in Thaland to learn it.
And now the other side of martial arts you should consider if putting your kids there. My knee was broken 2 times, last time 8 months ago and I still can't run and can practice some martial arts maybe after 10 years Some broken ribs, 2 nose surgeries (including plastic implantant inside), partial blindness of right eye (it's possible to fix it with surgery, but i'll do it later), 2 lost teeth (thank god, not in visible area) And most of people practicing martial arts here, are somehow connected with criminal world, so bunch of nice friends in prison But when looking back, I don't regret this time and because of those skills, it was very easy to go through Military service.

Wow Kuldar, THAT is impressive sir ! Sorry about all of the injuries, but
congratulations on everything else. Perhaps they should give you one of these
watches for free !

thanks Tom, but I don't have a Black Belt, was in shotokan karate training 2 hours and quit
