Spartacus Maximus Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Whether or not to display belts or certificates is a matter of personality and choice. Instructors usually have at least their present rank somewhere in their teaching space. My past achievements in karate have their designated place but it is not anywhere regular house guests can see. The display is for not to show others. It is a personal reminder of how much effort I have put into learning karate and how much more there is to learn. A self-motivation tool of sorts
singularity6 Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 All my testing certificates are stashed somewhere (so are all my diplomas, as well.) I keep my old belts in my bag, just in case they're needed in class (drills, or if I'm dumb and somehow misplace my current belt - never happens, but if it does, I'll demote myself rather than train without a belt.) I'm not sure if I'd ever display any of my certificates, belts or diplomas. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
Whisky147 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Posted July 9, 2017 Myself all i have is my white sash certificate i got recently which is in a drawer at home, all my old kickboxing belts i have no idea where they have gone, got a feeling the parents may have binned them when i left home!The reason for asking was, at one of my classes one of the guys mentioned his friend used to tie his old belts to a bo and i was curious if others had a 'thing' they did with old belts Shaun: 'Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over'
