what I don't get is that when new students comet o MA for the first time they're ashamed of being a white belt, and are afraid they are going to be picked on by higher ranking students, now at my school if I see that i will nip that one in the bud right then and there, because it does nothing but give MAists a bad rep. Although no matter where you go there will always be a hazing, but its when practitioners put the new comer down, makes me sick.

does anyone else had this kind of problem before? And how did you handle it?

I have never seen this. I can see how it may occur in some art though.
