| The belt should be based on the skill level, not how many years you have been "in training".
I've switched styles twice and both times I had to start all over with a white belt. Humbling experience considering I was a blackbelt before. However, I let my previous experience do the talking and I was able to advance much quickly due to my skill level at the time, not because I were a different colored belt before or how long I've been in training. |
