During the month of November 2009 let’s create an awareness in instructors to remember the importance of beginners as the future of martial arts as well as a reminder that instructors should always be in a constant state of learning and growth in the arts. For the student it shows an act by the instructors of checking their egos at the door and brings the importance of learning to the forefront.

Jigoro Kano the creator of the belt system recommended that even a 10th Dan should return to a white belt. So as a world wide martial arts event let all arts, styles and systems come together like never before to celebrate learning and the never ending martial arts journey.

Let the first week of November 2009 with the day Tuesday the 3rd being the recognized targeted day that instructors will return if only for a day and don the all important white belt. Let us show that knowledge and ability is the importance we should all strive for.


Please pass this on.


Thank you!

Today is the target date for this but it could last all month long.

Later,

Brad
