How many black belts do you have?

Black Belt

No video this time, but rather a question. How many martial arts can one person master? I was on a gym’s site and the instructor was a 7th degree black belt in 3 arts, 6th degree black belt and 3rd degree black belt in other arts. Not only does he hold 5 black belts, but they are 5 high level black belts. It’s hard enough to get a black belt in BJJ let alone 4 additional arts. I’m not sure I can buy into this being practical. This is not to suggest that they are not extremely talented martial artist’s, but it brings up the question as to whether focusing your energies into one art is more valuable to a student. For me I’m grateful for an instructor who has experience in different styles, but I’d prefer they are a true master of one.

So I wonder who out there has the most black belts? Anyone who thinks they know who it is, leave a comment for us.
