[color=66ff00]Basically what I'm saying is the belt is unimportant, it's what you had to do to get there that's important.

So your orange belt may look like nothing much but consider what you had to learn to get it.

As has been said, martial arts are not about violence; they are about perfecting the use of your own body and becoming one with the universe.....being able to kick someone's kidneys out through their nostrils is just a handy side-effect......
