No stripes to indicate dan levels because no one really cared. And there were no half ranks.

No stripes to indicate dan levels because no one really cared.

same at my dojo really. i asked my sensei after i got my dan gradings whether i should put them on my belt or not, and he just went "up to you really" but we have a handful of dan grades (all 1st or 2nd dan) and none of us have them on.
