Shouldnt we look at the bigger picture, ie. being the best one can be, pushing yourself 110% everytime instead of simply aiming for the expected standard of ones next kyu / grade.
The point im trying to make is, wearing white belt one day, and then an orange the next doesn't make you any better than the previous day, the only difference is the colour of belt, nothing else so why try to rush through the system to black? Take your time, try to perfect and understand every technique surely thats more important than a peice of cloth around the waist. If there were no belts between white and black I would seriously have to question how many children would still be wearing one, in adittion to this, where is the value of wearing a black belt when you can't honestly say you live up to what it represents anyway? - perhaps all this isnt necessarily specific to kids wearing them... hopefully I haven't offended anyone here.

Osu!
