Kane Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 BritNoob - there's really nothing wrong with being a whitebelt. In fact, colored belts are a relatively recent development in karate. As far as I know, there used to be only white, brown and black, then later green was added. Even today, not all organizations give out lots of rainbow colored belts. So people were and are whitebelts for years. Don't pay too much attention to belt color - just train hard.
aefibird Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 In many Aikido schools there are still only white and black belts. Belts are a recent addition to martial arts. There's no shame in being a white belt! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
hobz Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 A belt should only be used to hold your pants up ^_- and your gi together. Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
BritNoob Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah I know, I don't mind it really. It'd be nice not to be the newest student though, I mostly train with greens and blacks.
Kane Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 It'd be nice not to be the newest student though, I mostly train with greens and blacks. Consider yourself lucky to have many senior around to train with. It'll bring your level up faster to be the junior student in the class. And don't be intimidated. The others were once the newest student, too.

Red Triangle student Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I dont know what Luke means, that is a bit confusing actually. But back on topic, I don't think I have congratulated MatBla yet. So congratualtions on your yellow Belt grading. May I ask one uestion though, did you become a yellow belt off your first Grading? Triple Graded in other words, because if you did, you are really good. Keep it up! "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!
