Yep, over here in the UK, Kick-boxing is alot more structured than the All-American Kick-boxing associations that you see on TV. Over here alot of associations will have their main art (eg Kung Fu, Freestyle Karate, TKD, etc) then have a "kick-boxing" wing of their association. Take for example the BCKA actually is a part of Lau Gar Kung Fu, another example is Wutan Kung Fu & Kick-boxing, in the area TKD associations are opening up their wings on Kick-boxing.

I see. Very interesting. I kind of like that idea. I have seen that Savate has kind of a rank indication by the color of the gloves that the fighter wears. I thought that was kind of cool as well.

Yeah, I like that way too, it was strange at first (for me) coming from a traditional background. But after seeing and joining it, it kinda made sense

Most schools don't withhold results for Gup(Underbelt) tests. However, for Dan testing results are usually held for one of two reasons:

1. The legitimately need the time to process scores, update membership information, order belts, etc.

2. They want to be sure that you won't just take the belt and leave.

I will be testing for my Sam Dan in six days. I won't know whether I passed or not until about December. Which is why I am shooting to earn the "Best of Test" award. Not only is it good to push myself as far as I can go, but also, if I earn "Best of Test" then I can pretty much know I passed. If not, everyone failed.
