Interesting belt dilemma


Bleeding Lion

Recommended Posts

I wanted to dress as a martial artist for Halloween, sort of like ryu in street fighter (white karate gi, black belt, red ribbon on the head). However, I am not a black belt. I didnt know if I could (morally) buy a black belt and dress just for this occasion. At the end I didnt do it cause I would have felt weird a belt i didnt earn, even though it was for a party.

What do you guys think?

I'm kind of late on this. Halloween is almost over, but I feel the same way. I once dressed as a "kung fu master" a few years ago. The kung fu uniform, head band, and the little kung fu shoes. But I didn't wear a sash at all.

My boyfriend is a BB, and of course I do his laundry (if he doesn't). I have to wash his uniforms. I have to dig his uniform out of his bag along with his belt and towel. I will remove his belt, but I wouldn't think about wearing it. As far as it goes is, I drape it around my neck long enough to dig his uniform out, then I fold his belt up and put it back in his bag.

I don't even wear my own TKD red belt for Jujitsu. I wear a white belt. My instructor doesn't care really. He knows I earned my red belt, and he doesn't mind if I wear it, but I feel "weird" doing so for Jujitsu.

That's just me, though.

belt doesn't matter, your not goin around telling people your a black belt, its just a color. i know plenty of people who aren't black belts but have more skill than one. as long as your not trying to be something your not its all good

I don't think that kind of thing is a problem at all. I am suspicious that half of the people who wear a black belt on the job just went out and bought one anyway.
