I think that people would just like to see a little more order among the chaos.

But Jim (hey this is fun)
The order from chaos is something few people would disagree with, in fact with Shodokan there is a strong movement to standardize curriculum and miniimum training times. Well actually it is standardized and it is being spread through JAA affiliated dojos as we speak.
Still, there is a difference in teaching standard exists and there was a move to have only Shihan (remember we have only two) be given the right to grade yondan and up. That apparently annoyed some nanadans - I don't know what the situation has deveolped into.
I personally have annoyed some people when I have expressed more interest in how long they trained and who with, rather than the color of the belt. Even within my organization.
Perfect world no problems - the only solution I can think of is to approach the probelm as I stated above and in previous posts.
Six more hours and I begin my travels. Yehaaaa!!!!!
