Teaching my son karate

[Flying Crane]

After much thinking about degrees, I think I'm coming around to the idea that black is black and thats good enough. The politics of everything within dojos can be mind numbing and probably the reason why I didn't mind leaving my old school when I moved for work. Again the advice on this thread was great. Thanks.

At the end of the day, you know what you know. Teach him what youve got. Rank him accordingly if it feels appropriate. Don’t worry about the rest of the world, or about how it may or may not translate elsewhere.
