Ok, haha, i've sat here and read this entire thread, and Although i'm a very educated man, i'm not sure exactly what the debate here is really all about... there are too many debates, this should be broken down into several different threads... if you train in BJJ, in the GI, then belts are important... it's designed to give an infastructure to the academy and serve as a signature of one's developement in the art... i've been teaching BJJ since i was a blue belt... i have competed and won respectively at each rank from white, blue, purple, and brown, so i know that my rank is compatible w/in the standards of the BJJ system... generally speaking there is a difference between the teachings of a blue belt and a black, although i think a high level blue is more than capable of leading a team or an academy... many people say that a blue belt knows all the same techniques as a blackbelt, but that is not rationally possible... as a blue, (unless you've a blue for many years) you may know the machanics of most of the basic techniques, but you lack the sensitivity, timing, and advanced details of the execution that comes w/ time and dedication to the art... as far as accidents, they happen... they happen under the tutilage of blue through black belt instructors... aslong as you are participating in a contact sport, accidents are unavoidable... we can't neccessarilly relate that to the rank of the instructor... as far as "illigitamate ranks" it happens, fortunately, i'm not aware of any illigitamate blackbelts in NC...
