Re: What's in a belt?

Ok guys a couple of things i dont agree with here. For one I dont think it is up to the instructor to advance aperson soley to keep them interested. What i mean is, an instructor is to pass on knowledge to a nother. It isnt his job to run around and say are you still interested, what could i do to make you more interested? A person is only going to be interested if they want. In the end it will always be the person showing interest. We should't put to much faith in a belt. We keep talking about belts the way western society does. Remember over seas you are still just a beginner at black belt. they dont put too much thought into what is a belt, and we shouldnt either. You should just be there to train.
