Yellow Belt
My dojang recently had a change of ownership. In the process, we lost our master, and will be getting a new one. Apparently, he is from Hawaii and will be flying in in a couple weeks to take a look at the school, meet with the new leadership, evaluate classes, etc. He currently has two schools in Hawaii, and here is his website. The school's leadership appears to be pretty excited about meeting with him and finding out what sort of changes he has in mind.
After looking at his website, I am going to wait and see what direction the school takes. I know there are growing pains associated with changes and I really don't want to jump to any conclusions. That being said, I really am not that excited about potentially having a camo belt in my future. I know there are much more important things about a school than what colors of belts they choose to use in their ranking system, but camo just seems so... well... cheesey.
I am sure there are others that have been through similar changes in their dojangs, so what words of advice, besides trying my best to keep an open mind, can you offer?
