I think I'm going to side with Ryan on this one guys. Last time I checked Matt Hughes was a white belt, as is Frank Shamrock. I understand the concern about safety for the students but this belt stuff is very, very subjective. I have seen black belts in BJJ that weren't very good and they were legit. I have also seen many blue belts in BJJ that were incredible. Not sure what difference any of that stuff makes.I agree with Steve though, about belts for goals for students and instructors alike.

Thanks,
Scott Shields
