Sanchin,
Don’t sweat it.
If you find a great place, you won’t care what belt you have on.
If you came to us with the skills you no doubt have we would want you to retain your rank so people would know and respect your skill level.
We have a Kempo instructor who works out with us and has even taught class from time to time.
Forms are infectious and our Kempo guy dose a fine Chon Jee and we do something he calls mass attack.
