Topic	What martial arts school gives black belts to 14 year olds?
darkknight109 01/26/20 11:27:16 PM #47:	Zeus posted... What if they had been training from a young age or are a prodigy? Well, as mentioned, a black belt (or any rank, for that matter) can signify whatever state of progress you want. 14 year old prodigy? Average 14 year old? 14 year old who started training six months ago? Sure, whatever. It's all set out by whichever person/organization runs the school. If they want to give a black belt to a four year old so they can get some free advertising from the local papers talking about "the World's Youngest Black Belt", that's their call. I will say that for a lot of the schools where a second-degree black belt represents a high level of progress they straight-up won't allow you to get a second-degree black belt (or even a first-degree) at age 14, because they want to be sure you have the emotional maturity to handle the rank. In my karate dojo, minimum age for a first-degree black belt is 17 (as far as I know, I'm still the record-holder in my dojo for youngest black belt - I was ready for my test before I turned 17 and I tested 8 days after my 17th birthday); in my kobudo dojo, minimum age for a first-degree black belt is 18 and second-degree is 21.
