What are your current goals, what little things are you working on?
Even if we all practice different martial arts, we all have goals. Things we are trying to perfect. Bad habits we're trying to break. New moves we're trying to master.

Belt Standards
I'd love to have a discussion on belt standards! I will go on record and say that belt standards, strictly upheld, is the backbone to a strong school, a strong instructor, and a strong art.
