The "Belt" is by no means a Dorky topic. When you talk to the General Public and the Martial Arts comes up in conversation, what is the first thing they ask you? Are you a Black Belt? We all know that, we have all been asked that, but that's what they understand. In my opinion "The Belt" is a very useful tool in setting Goals for people. A typical new student see's the Belt as the prize and they set a Goal to get it. The Beautiful thing about the Martial Arts is by the time they get it (the Belt) they understand the true prize was the Journey to it.
