It is sort of tradition among some of the guys I train with. The guy that gave me his belt got his brown belt about a month or two before I got my purple. He was like a mentor on my path to purple. So when I got my purple belt it was like a changing of the guard, and he gave me his old purple belt.
In turn there was a kid recently who finally got a blue belt at the academy after about 2.5 years of training, very good player, and smaller like me. I gave him my old broken-in Blue belt.
:icon_conf ..I'm never going to give away my belts to some guy at my gym....borrow yeah, but give?! nahhh.. Belts show all your hard dedication you put in and to just give it away like that would sorta suck..but I guess it's different for everyone.
