HI all !!!! I'm practicing Wing Chun Kung Fu and we don't wear belts. I know for sure that Wing Chun master in the region of Ottawa in Canada are very conservative and don't want anybody in their classes. They don't want to spread the art by trough stupid people who would fight anybody and abuse of their power. So in my region, they just get a small group of 'smart' peoples and train a good time. Then, since they are not in a school, they don't need a belt. At the beginig, I was judging this like to be stupid, but now that it's been one year that I train with him, I don't think that belts are necessary. I think that belt are for the people who want to be proud of them and say "I'm better than you because.....", you know wath I mean , Don't you...... I' m waiting a feed back on this one!!!!!
