Blue to Purple

I remember seeing the purple belt as a goal but I don't bother with that any more. The way I see it, if im not meddling in all tournaments and being enough of a consistent threat to the purple belts in my gym, then I don't deserve a purple belt.

Theres no point getting a belt if you don't deserve it. I have seen some people being promoted before they really deserved it and it has done them no good.

If a person is does medal and cause problems for higher belts in the gym but it is due to athleticism then I think they shouldn't be promoted until the instructor can see that the person is using technique rather than muscling people.
