sl Resident 855 posts	Friday 29th July 2005 at 15:26 Its all fun Robsco..... no shell suits or perms here tough! haha Heres a question do you think you should ever lose your grade? For example if your a black belt in traditional but havent done traditional for five years are you still a black belt? ______________________________
Robsco 1319 posts	Friday 29th July 2005 at 15:45 I think you'd know deep down what you are. It would be pretty hard to get someone to strip you of a belt, but you know how good you are, and everytime you show-off telling people you're a black belt you'd know deep down you've lost the knack after so many years. I don't really class myself as a Blue Belt in BJJ at the minute. It'll only take me a couple of weeks to get back upto my old standards tho. The Admin Guy
trevek2 Addict 119 posts	Friday 29th July 2005 at 16:56 good point, I mean I haven't practised TKD seriously for over two years and don't really feel able to wear a BB anymore. It's one of the reasons I decided not to restart TKD was because each time I was chasing past 'glories' when I was fatter and unfitter and kept reverting to the same old techniques and bad habits. This is why I'm interested in learning other arts, like JJ where I can put my past experience into play but get energised by something new (maybe I outgrew TKD ?). If I ever go to a new TKD school i always explain the situation and ask whether they would prefer me to wear a white belt or a lower grade (heck, like you say, I know what I have done or what i am... a white belt doesn't bother me). However, I have heard of organisations which insist on BB's who have had a lay off to either resit their BB or be assessed as to whether they are still of the right level.
