Black belts unite!

Options
I want to get a chime in from people who have a martial arts black belt or higher. I do not care what art you study but regardless of art there is a black belt mentality. You know, "I will achieve my goal even if it kills me." After all I am sure you had to endure an insanely tough belt test of some sort. Mine was 7 hours with no food, drink, or bathroom breaks.

Do you apply your black belt mentality to your overall fitness goals?

    I have a black belt in devouring wings! In a class of my own!

    On a more serious note, my son was a black belt so for this thread I will live vicariously through him

    With my training came pushing harder when you feel that you have nothing left and to keep your body moving even while recouping

    My belt is black. However, I bring a gun to an open fist fight.
