IcemanSK said:Thanks, Nick. Elvis is the man! Chuck Norris has nothing on him
bignick said:That's what you think...Elvis said that once too...I think we all know how that turned out...Elvis died of complications and such from "drug abuse" and when I say drugs, I mean a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick and when I say abuse, I mean to the face...
Grenadier said:In a nutshell, double promotions (or possibly even more) aren't necessarily out of the ordinary. Keep in mind, that there are many styles of Karate that would use only white, green, brown, and black belts, and that the extra colored belts were thrown in there to help people advance in a more conservative manner. Still, there were many folks who did just fine with that system.
bignick said:I was wondering what peoples feelings were on double promoting in martial arts...The reason I bring this up is that I was recently double promoted to 1st gup(1st kyu) in taekwondo, and it made me a little uncomfortable...to set some things straight my gym is not a belt factory and double promotions are extremely rare(i only know of one other person from my club to recieve one)....i felt it was quite a vote of confidence from the head instructor...but i feel that there should be time spent improving in rank...i took the double promotion so the incident in question is done with...but i would like to hear other peoples feelings on this subject...
