Are you guys for belt rankings or against it?
Personally, i am against it, because it is sort of a bribe, making students visualize that "goal" while training. and it shows off your supposed talents in the form of a colored belt. I beleive your skills in martial arts should not be showcased in such a way. One of the things i am most against is when there are tests to see if you are good enough to get one. In fact, i have turned down many CMA schools until i came to a certain mantis school, because the beltless situation lets the master decide when your ready. Also, unlike my old TKD school, there are no more on lookers requesting a black belt to preform some kind of move they think is impressive and determines if you are a skilled martial practicioner.
