LOL, it appears they have learned well from their instructors!!! :ultracool
Many Black Belts that only a couple of years earlier were 5th, 6th or 7th Degree Black Belts (and many of them from questionable backgrounds in the first place), over night become one two or three ranks higher!!
The "Double Red Bar Syndrome" is rampant and out of control!! If Mr. Parker were here today, most of these guys would NEVER even think of wearing that much red due to embarrassment if ever asked to explain something by someone that really knows something. They're only hoping that they never get in that position thus most stay in their own little worlds or ponds and never venture out into the big real world (I'm sure most are not aware of what people are saying behind their backs)!
OMG....... Say it like it is Brother! !
