shortdog Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 WHAT IS GOING ON? the school i currently go to just really pissed me off. it is an akido school, that is trying to get a lot of money. there were 12 belts from white to black. in one week the school went from 12 belts to 30 belts! how many belts are there in other school. i know a traditional style dosnt just change the number of belts, so i am now wary of this teacher, what else could he be changing? this happened to my friend's school also. what i am trying to say is how can some one just change an ancient style? i guess i am just venting.

Karateka Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Aikido never had belts! "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
iamrushman Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 that sounds very strange to me...........how does a 30 belt system work? seems like a lot to me. is testing involved with each level? rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson
Angus Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 That's ridiculous man... get out of there and never look back.. Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
iamrushman Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 SHORTDOG...ANGUS may be right..where are you and this school located? rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson
Kato Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 This definatly sounds fishy, Akido is not suposed to run on a belt system at all. This Message was edited by: Kato on Jul 30, 2001 2:30pm

Angus Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 hahahaha.... that's ridiculous... Find another school man. What the hell is the go with a camo belt!?!? Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Karateka Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 There is a tae kwon do school in North Vancouver that has Camo belt. It is just a way to get money. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
iamrushman Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 i have seen the como. belt in A.T.A. TAEKWONDO schools. in those schools the stripes are for the progression towards the next belt.(so students feel they are headed in the right direction) just for the info......... rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson
