What does it take to be considered an expert in the martial arts?

dunnr1 @dunnr1 (24) • United States 3 May 07

Does having a black belt or the fact they having been studying their discipline for decades make them an expert? What exactly makes someone an expert in the martial arts? Can everyone achieve this?

gjohnrod it doesn't need for you to have a liscence to be an expert or even a belt. a liscence is just a card doesn't prove a thing a belt is just a 2inch cloth that covers your a$$ everything else you will cover it yourself and prove to them you can defend...

What style of martial arts generates the best strikers?

Cephoozee @Cephoozee (373) • United States 15 Feb 07

I think thqat kungfu is the best striking style, there are so many and the training is the most intensive I've seen. A normal day in my class I do over a thousand punches within an hour and a half's time. What do you think?
