What rank does everyone here hold? non Karate ranks are welcomed (but still has to be martial art related )

I wouldnt worry about label matching. If it helps, just look at BJJ gis lol they have multiple label/sponsors all over their gis,

It has its ups and downs on the main stage. Its Sad as the main practitioners in MMA have been on the losing side as of late. A 42 yr old Machida and Horiguchi (both Shotokan) have been KOed in there more recent fights. Wonderboy has also lost his last few but due to being out-grappled.

I was Practicing Jinen Ryu recently, but my main overall style was Shotokan.

Sweating profusely during training feels very rewarding for me. Its a sign of hard work during a training session. I would just caution and make sure you stay hydrated with electrolytes. I have classmates that drip sweat from the minute dawn the gi and stretch.
