Black Belts of WahDojo

What does the black belt signify?

​

Black Belt is not a mark or symbol of the end of the journey to ones mastery of the martial arts; rather it is the mark that one is done preparing for their journey and may now take the first step in their true journey. This is a journey which can not ever be completed, only traveled.
