I think if people would stop promoting eight year olds to black belt we wouldn't have this problem.

Just think how bad this problem would be if we had 8 year old Black Belts -- we'd have 21 year old 10th Dans!
A couple of things. I posted under Mr. Billings quote because I agree with his assessment.Originally posted by Michael Billings
Everyone may want to review the KenpoNet thread on this topic before replying.
It can be very tongue-in-cheek on some level, while other's treat it with great seriousness.
I personally think it ludicrous to create new belts higher than 10th. When you are there, you are there ... At that level I am not sure why they, you, or I would need 'reinforcement' or 'acknowledgment' of a higher rank. The matter of titles or positions withing an organization or the KenpoWorld is another issue and open to change.
