i agree , i see kids that are trying there hardest and improvement is starting for them and then i see kids that just want a black belt without doing any real work to get it, like doing their forms and other requirements sloppy in a lazy manner or choosing to get in the ring and not spar to what there ability really is. Then the attitude that these type of kids have when they reached a high rank is gross they look down on lower ranked kids and get jealous fast when they they lose in sparring to a student that has been training their heart out to get better or hear that someone has won in a tournament and they know that they never given any thought to competing. Gaining rank too fast to me seems to be an issue, its not a race i wish students would pace themselves more, so that they will have more time for improvement instead of belt hopping.
