I dont disagree. I am not a big fan of the belt system anyway. A belt is not always indicative of skill

I don't wear my uniform outside of class. Personally I would feel awkward walking around in my uniform.

I have always favored striking with the two knuckles in a traditional punch for sparring purposes. However in a real fight I would favor striking with palm of my hand. I feel this is a more powerful strike since I have to worry less about breaking my hand.

The uechi ryu school I trained at was taught in english, but we were taught all the techniques using the japanese names. In addition all counts were done in Japaneese

Congratulations!
