Requiring Patience For The Black Belt And For Rank Advancement In General

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

No you're the one who's wrong because you missed my point, you need to admit you were wrong for missing my point. This is exactly what Im talking about when I say that people miss my points.

People understand your points and disagree. That doesn't mean they miss them.

Yes I know there's a difference between getting a point and disagreeing with it and missing a point altogether, but the thing is people do miss my points altogether, at least some of the people on this forum do.

Sometimes a student can possess the skillset, but lack the correct mindset to be honored with a blackbelt. Martial arts chains and McDojos can be less concerned with the overall quality of their students. Pay your money and they will award the belt. A lot of us have come across such schools and their students, blackbelts who do not deserve the recognition or grade. And then you have instructors and schools who require their students to uphold the honor, respect and characteristics of the original martial artists. A white uniform and blackbelt are not necessary requirements in order to be a martial artist of the highest caliber, the real treasures of martial arts go much deeper than that.
