"Honestly, I think that's the only reason a parent enrolls their kids in MA. "Well, Jonny's a Black belt!" " exactly,it's kind of like a good report card.Anyways a while ago I was reading a artiacle in a mag. and it was about a kung-fu school.You this was a very traditional kung fu school that just wore the sweat looking pants and a simple t-shirt.Then when some family came to check out the school, they asked to see the instructor and complained to him "why can't the kids have a colored belt and uniform?" The intstructor replied " Things aren't done like that here. If you want that you should go to another school." The family just left frustated.
