Black Belt thesis

[bushido_man96]

I fully expect vehement disagreement on this, but I don't really feel that literacy should be required. I know people smarter than myself, who, while not martial artists, are knowledgeable in their own area yet read at a 5th grade level.

I agree with the idea that there should be a level of thought, but there should be an alternative to a written paper.

A good alternative could be oral presentation, perhaps done in a demostration setting with a partner to demonstrate concepts and ideas.
