Handing out belts...


Recommended Posts

There are a lot of schools that just give people belts that dont deserve it, cause they havent earned it. I want to know what yall think about that cause, its stupid for them, it gives people false hope if they didnt earn it. What do yall think

Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.

i agree it could cause problems such as some one saying im a black belt or what ever trying to defend someone and getting their butt whooped and seriously injuring themselves. schools only do this to attract members and get money

The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

sure does it doesnt make the schools that work hard for their belts look like they earned it because they see the other that really suck and think the rest of us do as well

yea i dislike it too because it doesnt only effect them. It makes others in martial arts look bad, and the "undeserving" black belts tend to lead the beginners the wrong way and influence them negitivly without knowing it. I had an undeserving black belt tonight trying to teach me the incorrect applications.

It just make a whoel line of not quite as good martial artists, because people who dont know what they are doing cant teach others what to do correctly, unless its a mistake. But when people get their belts too quickly they dont really fully learn everything needed and then go onto the next belt and if they are earning belts that quickly they are probably forgetting the basics and they dont really remember anything and it all jsut goes crazy. It also makes martial artist look bad especially when you ahve been studying martial arts longer or anything liek that than someone else and they say they are a black belt in whatever martial art and then everyone else asks you if you do a martial art and you said yes and you say like a orange or green belt its kinda annoying when you have been studying a lot longer than any of the other peopel there but they seem to think they are superior because of the color of their belt. They dont get that its just a belt, there is no knowledge magical stored in it.

If instructors give promotions to keep and attract new students,then I think it will come back to haunt them.Soon people wil see there rank means nothing.When I go into a school if I see to many Black belts I head for the door..

Well yeah that is a sign of a school that hands out belts, when there are too many black belt, but there is also schools like Tong Il Lo that have a lot of student that are blackbelts, and believe me they deserve it so you cant really judge if they hand out belts by the number of blackbelts in the class what i would do is just take the class untill i got my first belt, if i get it really fast id research on how long it would take a good school to promote a student, then i would determine if i were to stay or not,

Just wondering, what would you consider too many black belts, cause where i go, almost half the class is black belt. Although if it is "too many", i dont really care because they promote rather slow (in the little over a year i have been there, i have gottent to my third belt including white and the lower belts take a shorter time to get to), and they are as good as any other black belts i have seen. I was just curious as to what percent of a class that are black belts would be consider too large of an amount.
