There are many ideas concerning what a good Karate Black Belt must be, but most of them miss the point. There are theories that you must be able to bob and weave, which is from boxing. There are theories that you must be able to take a punch, which is sort of silly when you think about it.
When you sort straight through all the bushwah, however, you will find that a good karate system will teach the three elements detailed in this article. This is not mysticism, nor some idiot idea from the unpolished. This is facts, as put forth by physics.
The three elements of a good martial arts style are speed, power, and technique. With these three tools a martial artist can achieve greatness. Interestingly enough, one will find that martial arts technique is by far the most important.
Speed is necessary, as speed means you can make a technique work. While the other guy is punching, you are executing movement that will consequent in the fight inviting to your advantage. Of course, all the speed in the world isn't going to work if you don't have power at the end of your speed.
Power is necessary, because you need to make your karate technique work. No matter how fast you hit, if you don't have the power behind the technique, it won't work. Interestingly, speed can lead to power, but power doesn't necessarily lead to speed.
But the most prominent element is always going to be technique. To study technique is to study the things that give you power and speed. This is a matter of growing awareness.
To grow awareness is to enable yourself to educate yourself. Even if you are old, you can use the awareness built by your technique to predict what is going to happen, and to get ahead of the attack. Heck, speed and power may disappear with age, but technique, no matter how old you get, will always get better. It is technique that a person should pursue and perfect.
Unfortunately, many schools have given up technique for fighting, which is opposed to the real idea behind the martial arts philosophy. Many schools just train the muscles, and they ignore the awareness. This is unfortunate, but it can be cured if the student has the common sense to hunt out the techniques (usually found in the Karate forms) and study the three elements that a good Karate Black Belt must have.
