My Black Belt Journey
Rahul Ghosh My karate journey started when I was 4 years old. My parents enrolled me in a few activities including karate, piano, and later chess to foster growth and development. But, I wouldn’t know how much of an impact karate would have on my life at that age. My parents knew that karate taught discipline, confidence, self-defense, and most important of all, kindness and respect. But then again, why IBBA? Well, there are many other schools out there, but they do not require the same perseverance and resilience needed to get a black belt like IBBA. They do not have the same sense of family and friendship that you have at IBBA, for they are run like a business, not a true dojo.
Truly, I have learned countless lessons from IBBA. Firstly, I have learned to be confident. Without karate, I wouldn’t have been able to do many things at school. Once in third grade, I had to present a PowerPoint to my whole grade, including 75 kids, all the teachers in my grade, and the GT instructor, who was grading it. I couldn’t imagine doing this without the confidence karate instilled in me. Secondly, I have learned etiquette, discipline, and morals from karate. I have learned to respect everyone and treat everyone like a friend. During mat-chats, you learn many character qualities and manners that are essential to success. Finally, I have learned self-defense techniques that could be beneficial if anyone attacks me. Thanks to karate, if that dreadful day occurs
My black belt will help me fulfill this goal as it will give me a reason to stick to my goal. In karate class, the instructors over there didn’t wanted perfection, they wanted us to try our best. It will remind me not to give up. The black belt represents a level of appreciation, humanity, trust, life, love, courage, strength, knowledge, self-discipline, coordination, friendship, and willingness to do what is right. These character traits will help me to understand my patient and guide them with the right advice.
Two years ago i received my black belt in taekwondo,my mother decided i was responsible enough to get a dog as a gift. I was very happy,i’ve always wanted a dog. My neighbor's dog had given birth to puppies a few months earlier, so that was perfect timing.The puppies were old enough to be away from the mother. All the puppies were brown except for two. All the dogs were female,i’ve seen them only a few times the mother was very protective of them when they were newborns.The taekwondo test lasted four hours i was extremely tired i had protective gear on which was kinda heavy and kept heat in so i was sweating a lot.
On the drive to Highland Ranch Elementary School, I started recalling how I started karate. I began in fourth grade as an afterschool program. Our small class only had five people. I remember that I was the only one able to go to the studio and test for the next rank. Thinking back, I was really glad that I was able to test because I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t have continued if the teacher didn’t tell me that I could test for the next belt. Continuing karate helped
Earning my black belt means a lot to me. It represents the hard work that have worked for since my white belt, and it shows that I can protect myself. Karate has helped me overcome the fear of being bullied because learning karate means that I can stand up and defend myself from the bully.
Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu once said that “a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step”. My first step in karate was my parents looking to sign my sister and I into an after school activity, to increase our confidence and

Karate is one of the most important aspects of my life. It has introduced me not only to new people but also to new experiences. It has taught me important lessons and given me priceless skills. Because of karate, I am a more confident, healthy, and responsible person than I have ever been before. Most importantly, martial arts has helped me to embody the five elements of the Be Your Best Self program before I even learned what they were.
In the five years I’ve been in karate, I’ve been given lessons both in and out of classes that I couldn’t have learnt otherwise. I grew to know determination when I saw the many techniques and forms I would have to master. I grew to know forgiveness when working with others in sparring and self-defense. I learnt patience when I saw the path ahead towards earning my black belt and knew hope when I saw others who had achieved it. I knew grief and pain in the passing of my first karate master and mother, and I knew happiness and joy in each new belt and feat. The knowledge I have gained from karate cannot leave me, and I hope that with the coming year, I can learn and absorb more than in my previous years.

These words ring with incredible truth, and I would know. It was seven years of genuine blood, sweat, and tears that brought me to my current position. Karate had been my childhood passion since I was the age of seven. My father and I had traveled the path towards are black belts together as a father daughter activity. I never would have imagined before my test how far it would push me and how I would feel afterwards.
likely that projects will succeed, make a difference to the company’s high-quality output and most importantly, align with their original plan. At each level of certification, there are “belt” categories that represent credentials and people at these levels are responsible for different tasks. For example, at an organization’s project level, the personnel who handle the projects and research improvement methods hold black belt, green belt, white belt, and yellow belt credentials. More specifically, someone with a black belt would be under the guidance of a “master black belt” and they consult the company from within by training and coaching teams. Holding a green belt certification would mean you would have a similar role with helping to improve
