White Belt
Quick question - I just got promoted last weekend and was wondering what tradition dictates for a new/higher degree of black belt - do you just add a stripe to your old belt or get a new one? My black belt that I was promoted to 1st is now 3 years old, and is showing it's age/wear (I got a satin covered belt). Now I just received my 2nd, and was curious what protocol dictates.
Luckily I have another belt that does not have rank on it (got it after I was told at IKC's that I shouldn't expect to place/win my kata division with only 1 stripe going against higher ranks) -- so I can wear it until I decided to get a new belt or just add the rank to my old one.
