Who ever said I was a martial artist?
I know my definition came off more elitist than I wanted it to be, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it.

At what age can someone master their art and become a "martial artist"?
Fedor Emelianeko became a Master of Sports in Sambo and Judo at 21, is he a martial artist?
Anderson Silva recieved his black belt in Tae kwan do at 18 after only four years. Martial Artist?
Royce Gracie recieved his black belt in BJJ at 18. Martial artist?
What age does someone have to be what age does someone have to be before they can get their black belt (or equivelent)?

Actually many martial arts have rules for their competitions. Sambo has like five different rules sets depending on the competition.
