Yeah that sounds strange, mostly guys get promoted at the begining of class or during a seminar. If its seminar that day, then it makes sense. Are guys moving up belt ranks or just stripes on the 100dollar day?
IF you want to buy a black belt, go see Carlson Gracie sr,, he hands them out to the highest bidder, after all, Vitor Belfort jumped from purple to black just like that ! |
