  • 20 Years ago

    All,

    the attached cartoon (my personal favorite) was originally published 20 years ago.
    In light of this, I would like to start a little discussion in regards to the following:

    Has anything changed in the last 20 years?

    If yes, did it improve, get worst, or what?

    All styles are welcome to contribute...

    Hahaha, that's really a great cartoon
    To be honest, I never could do anything but laugh at all those belts and ranks and exams and silly rules which are unfortunately affiliated with many branches of martial art.
    Speaking in metaphors, it's like a gunman spending so much time polishing, greasing, adjusting, aiming, loading, readjusting, repolishing his gun that he forgets to actually shoot it. (And on a sidenote, I suppose those kind of personalities are best left with their guns unfired).
    Did it improve? No, why should it? People are still people and their needs won't change with time. This of "belt-infatuation" has existed for centuries. If it "improves" in the field of martial arts, it only means it has gotten worse in other places.
