Why black belt?

We train in Krav Maga, a self-defense martial art. At the school where we train, we practise Muay Thai punch and kick combinations and self defenses, along with lots of cardio conditioning. There is a system of 10 belts, which represent the journey from a white belt beginner to an advanced student, who earns a black belt. It takes a few years to make the journey, which is never really completed: you can never stop training, as there is always more to learn. We begin, from where we are, when we make the decision to train.

Similarly, we begin a journey to improve our nutrition from an unknown position: how healthy are you? How good is your diet? How well do you think you eat? How is your weight? All the answers are difficult and subjective.
