Hey, Jacques, did you have a point in there somewhere?

I personally applaud this guy's efforts. He works hard. It's likely he knows that only a small percentage of his students will "get it", but if even one person is better off because of his efforts it's worthwhile.

I agree with aiki_mcr. Who cares about the belt system as long as there is benefit? After a four week course, they get an orange belt - so who cares? What level is an orange belt in his particular school anyway? 6th Kyu? 5th Kyu? Let them practice aikido!
