Maturity in the arts, and holding your pants up. Seem too complicated? I still say we should go back to the old days when all the students wore a white belt, never washed it and as the years grew the belt became different colors because of the long time of training, green, yellow, brown then after about 20-30 years maybe black. But of course that's up for speculation, I think It's a good concept myself. Tell that to any of my students

BTW: would a loop belt be better then a strap on belt for my size 80 jeans? haha!!!
