The fact that young kids can get black belts - not just the likes of Graycie, but teenage kids all over the shop - really shows how easy it is. You turn up, learn a few Japanese words, practise a few kicks, and they call you a black belt.
Then the first time you get into a real fight, puffed up with unfounded confidence, you find you get sparked.
