Ok, you got me confused. How would this do anything to eliminate so called "McDojos" or crap teaching? Any time you hide information you help foster "McDojos". Hiding information keeps you from determining if it's "for real" until you've invested too much time in.
I believe that you should let people watch the class, if they want, but not participate until they've reached that level. As mentioned previously, that lets them work on their own material that they might not get to work on with lower belts impeding them.

Jill, I agree completly. Blackbelts are there to help you you lean and train. Being cut off from them seems rather supiscious. Just my thoughts!Originally posted by Jill666
Oh, I'm having a strong reaction to THAT comment- why the hell is she a black belt? If she cannot handle herself in a class- unless the class is out of control in which case the instructor needs to step in. I'm not getting that at all.
I'm not big or tough (well, a little tough) but I sure as hell walk into three different dojos weekly and there are only black belts, only males in all three classes. Never have I felt intimidated.
I truly don't understand what the deal is here. There is something seriously not right in this scenario.:angry:

BB classes are not meant to be violent in my opinion.
there is so much more to learn when you become a BB. in fact it has more to do with not fighting than fighting.
you are at a level where self control is an important part of your training.
ppl that hold BB classes and pounce on eachother need to learn the true meaning of what a black belt really stands for!!
