What is this buidness about being able to buy a home black belt study course on line???
This cant be for real. and if it is I am curious to what these people actually learn to be able to earn a black belt without attending a school.
Unfortunately, they do, in fact, exist. The premise is this:
You buy the tapes, follow the training instructions, and then videotape yourself executing the techniques. Then you ship the tapes, with any written testing that may be required, to the "governing" body responsible for managing the program. If you have demonstrated sufficient ability to perform the technique (translation: if you paid a high enough price for the program, and submit the requisite fees for the "testing") you are notified that you may advance in rank to the next belt level. Depending on how much space you have, and how good you are at discerning the technique from watching a tape and mimicking what you see, you can actually progress from totally unskilled in Martial arts to being "legitimately" able to call yourself a Black Belt in your chosen (paid for) style.
From what I hear, some of the more popular organizations providing these services are:
CPMAA - Couch Potato Martial Arts Association
BBMAF - Backyard Brawler Martial Arts Federation
MABFI - Martial Arts Black Belt Factory International (special discount for thrid wolrd applicants)
HKFPL - High Kick Flashy Punch League
WWMAIF - Wish I Was a Martial Artist International Foundation
I'm sure there are others, but these, from what I understand, are the most popular, and award black belts in the shortest amount of time.
