As an orange belt, i completely agree. The "white belt" or beginning stages of your martial arts is like your freshman year in high school. You learn the ettiquette, where to go, what do do and most importantly learn! I actually love my white belt techniques so much more than my OB techniques. Yes, OB techniques look cooler, but i just love doing WB techniques and reminiscing on when and how I learned them. I think a lot of people should go all their white belt material and ask themselves: "how exactly, based on that format, have i improved?" I'm amazed at what i've learned mentally and physically in only one year.

Very nice. White belt is the toughest stage for most martial artists, simply because there is so much to learn. I like the style with which you approach the white belts' training, laying the ground work for a long and successful career in the martial arts.
