seven years and only a black belt? A blackbelt is simply mastery of basics, most people gain black belt satus in only two or three years of training.
You could very well teach yourself martial arts, particularly conditioning and learning of technique through trial and error (in regards to body mechanics) though it would take enormous discipline. If anyone says it flat out cant be done then they obviously havent heard of Musashi Miyamoto, who taught himself swordsmanship (and for the uninitiated was the best single swordsman in all of Japan).
But that route is probably not for you so it would be wisest not to try.
