I particularly like your co...Great post, Christian. I particularly like your comments about the belt system. It seems that in public lots of people downplay belt promotions. They're very cautious when talking about belts. They act like being excited about a belt promotion or using a belt as a goal, etc. shows that they are naive or their priorities are screwed up. Belts are not the end goal, and they come naturally with effort and consistency. We all know that. It goes without saying. But I agree with you; they represent lots of time, dedication, skill, and they merit a degree of respect. If you're running a marathon, passing checkpoints is a great and encouraging thing, and it's the same with belts in jiu-jitsu. They mean something in this martial art, and if it's a blue belt or a black belt, you should be proud of what you have accomplished so far, and use it to motivate you to get even better.SkinnyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828780498797612518noreply@blogger.com
