starting with nothing

[ad]

for real, though mostly when it comes to sparring it jus goes back to the simple side kicks, front kicks and jab and cross, even when fighting with the black belts, no fancy stuff at all, jus the ginuwine basics ,

I don't really know why fancy stuff is so highly regarded in the martial arts. Basics are always better. I don't train my fancy kicks anymore, cos i know they are gonna b a useless waste of time and energy... time and energy which could be better spent on my rounshouse kick.

Earning the right to wear a white belt. Doesn't sound like a mcdojo to me.

 

There is a lot of hot discussion that goes on about ranking systems. Most of the time it is pointing out the devaluation of rank done by dojos that just sell rank.

 

If this school makes a student earn the right to wear a beginners belt I would take a second look. What are the requirements for later belts? Are the higher belts also being earned and not just sold.

 

Earning the right to wear a belt is generally a good sign.
