You can skip the background story if you want It made we wonder ... Do any martial art systems actually use a pink belt? Also, are there any good stories or joke or anything about pink belts? I know the Master's wife at our studio has a pink belt she wears for halloween; thats the only time I've ever seen a pink belt. Anyone know anything?
I dont know for any but sure it is a good idea for punishment!! You are tough! Ok, take of that belt an wear the pinky one! Or even pinky kimono..hihi
We have a pink belt that our teacher makes you wear if you forget your actual belt....its done in good humor, but is still embarrassing enough to serve as a memory aid for next time. At my other dojo, one of the senior instructors will tie the **** out of your belt if you leave it in the changing room overnight (mostly only for blackbelts though).
That's an amazing idea I should tell our instructors about that (they all have a good sense of humor). :hat:
What makes you think that yellow, green, blue, red or whatever other colours you wear don't have exactly the same connotations in the culture your art is from? That's not a serious question, but I've just typed a very similar response in another board and the point is that the colours are just arbitrary markers of rank. What the colour actually is shouldn't matter. Mitch
I approve of this pink belt practical joke rumor. I also approve of making the belt forgetters wear the pink loaner belt. Good times.
So rumour has it...this is the funniest version of said events *WARNING: SOME NSFW LANGUAGE* [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuqpR7BK3M0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuqpR7BK3M0[/ame]
Have you watched/listened to Rogan and Bas chewing the fat? A quality listen and no mistake. Lot's of stories from Bas's past.
