Re: Poll: How meaningful are other people's aikido rank to you?
I started out in clubs full of coloured grades but ended up liking Aikikai the best as they all wore white. It just made everyone a little more equal (until yudansha - some are more equal than others), especially on courses - when all wear white you can only go on skill when sussing out new people. It's kinda like taking the mirrors off your motorcycle for awhile - it makes you ten times more aware of what's going on behind.
