Do you remember that feeling of putting your white belt on for the first time? For most people, recalling the first time they stepped into the dojo undoubtedly evokes mixed feelings: Nostalgia. Sometimes a bit fear. I mean, Karate isn’t just “any” activity, is it? It’s actually pretty weird when you think about it from a beginner’s point of view: Funny-looking techniques. Japanese words. Strange rituals. Unfashionable clothes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Aug 30, 2017.

Cannes Film Review: 'You Were Never Really Here'. Reviewed at Cannes Film Festival (competing), May 26, 2017. Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here from Amazon Studios is staking out Feb. 23 for a limited release. And to top it off, there’s often a dude in front who everyone bows to and calls “sense-eye”. Pretty unlike any other physical activity you could have chosen, right? (And that’s exactly why you chose it.) Yet, here you are, years later. • Still training. • Still pushing. • Still getting bruises • Still learning. • Still getting the occasional ego check. • (And perhaps even teching others.) Many people would consider this a miracle of sorts. And indeed, the fact that you even started training Karate is pretty awesome, considering all the other things you could have taken up. ![]() (Like But when you think about it, it’s actually far from a miracle that you’re still training Karate. In fact, if you ask me, it’s probably only 1 percent miracle. 99 percent evil conspiracy – from your sensei. You see, there’s a whole bunch of stuff your sensei NEVER told you about Karate. And rightfully so. Because, if you were told these things when you started out, you would probably have slammed the dojo door shut and sprinted the heck away from that god-forgotten place faster than a speeding bullet. And if you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, you’re living in denial. You just haven’t admitted it to yourself yet. So without further ado, allow me to present 6 Things Your Sensei NEVER Told You About Karate (Luckily). Listen up: #1: “You Will Probably Not Get to Black Belt” Sounds harsh? But no matter how crushing it might sound, the statistical, mathematical, scientific, logical, proven, reality is that most people who join a Karate dojo will never get to the legendary black belt.

How many get to the third belt? (Answer: “Not many.”) It’s just simple statistics. Nobody is trying to discourage you or anything. It’s not a plot. Nobody is out to get you. But let’s keep it real here: Just like most businesses fail within two years of starting, most Karate students don’t get to black belt. They just don’t have that time, dedication, willingness or spark. It’s not that it’s “impossible”. It’s just pretty improbable. And thankfully, your sensei was sensible enough to never tell you this. #2: “Modern Karate Sucks for Self-Defense” Oh You want to learn how to REALLY be safe against harm?
