Author: Scott Shields [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:16:18 09/13/05 Tue Pretty funnny! I think that it is always good to remember that guys like Tito, Frank Shamrock and Ken are white belts in BJJ. Erik Paulson is a blue belt and I have seen him catch Rigan! Belts really are a subjective thing. A black belt means that "the guy who gives it to you" thinks that you have enough knowledge and skill to meet "his" standard of black belt. Some other guy might think it is not enough, others, too much. Very subjective indeed. We have all seen guys at tournaments that have blue belts on that should be in the brown belt division, as well as looking at black belts and thinking.."what happened? how did that guy get a black belt?" I have seen TKD green belts smoke high level TKD black belts and I have seen white belts rip through BJJ black belts. It's all subjective and should be taken with a grain of salt. I am not dismissing someones acheivement in earning a belt or rank. I think that is very important, like goal setting. I respect the guy who has trained hard and earned a rank in whatever style or rank either in..TKD, BJJ, JKD, or whatever. None are better than any of the other. Anyway, I'm rambling again, sorry about that! Thanks, Scott Shields [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
