I know of at least two or three schools who have black-belt programs for yellow-belts, to make them get one faster. Sometimes people can become black belts within one year, after which they are ecnouraged to open their own courses, so they bring money in for the organisation!
It is no wonder that those people than think that they have just advanced so much because they are so damn good and that's all they needed to do.
It's a shame.

Its true. After all, all shodan means is begginer in Japanese lol. I look on the bright side of things though, it just means that those who do not deserve to learn get caught up in there own little ways and will never reach what they think they have. More or less these people are cons and should be avoided by true seekers of Budo. However it is unfortunate that people who do get caught up in this may not know any better and are sucked into somthing they dont understand resulting in them missing out on somthing that is there for everyone who has the courage to stat training. It is a shame. Thanks for the reply dude.
