Unwanted Rank advancement...

At the end of th day no one can force someone to wear a belt. If for example I start judo tomorrow if I wanted I could train it non stop for 20 years (probably not as I assume I'll be dead by then lol) and never go beyond white belt. No one can make me. That's a thing I liked in kenpo they say if you don't want to take this belt you don't have to. I mean I did always take it because it was there so why not I'm not openly against rank but I'm just not going to chase it. Like in bjj I've got 2 stripes but I didn't get promoted to next stripe when the instructor did the promotions (there's no test but he normally awards them to people he feels deserve at the time.) I don't know why I didn't get it I'm not great at bjj but I'm not the worst but it doesn't matter to me I just keep training and if it comes it comes if not then who cares.
Sigh....now I just look silly.....I was awarded my 3rd stripe tonight....great timing professor lol
