Growing up I practiced a form of martial arts know as Grekurin. It's a form of Muay Thai that incorporates Jujitsu techniques. It's a family developed art ,much like that of BJJ, created by my master's father. Of his twenty-two students, three of them (including myself) were awarded black belts. No fancy writing or embroidering, just plane old KI brand black belts. Since then my master has moved back home (Somewhere in Australia???) and his school is no more. Me and a fellow black belt of the school have tried to compete in competitions requiring rank, only to be told our belts weren't recognized by any know organisation. I worked my @$$ off for that belt for six years. So, my question would be "how does someone become a recognized black belt when their art is non-traditional."
