It sets them apart and (using the definition) entitles them to something. For the instructor, it is marketing. Although it can show which students are dedicated (with exceptions). _________________________ Tony Partlow Shogen-Ryu Karate-Do Minamoto Shibu Dojo http://martialartsfriends.com/Shogen

I did not think it was referring to actual groups of blackbelts. If I am mistaken, then I think Blackbelt clubs are great. I have classes specifically for blackbelts, although we do allow some brownbelts to attend (talk about elitism! ) _________________________ Tony Partlow Shogen-Ryu Karate-Do Minamoto Shibu Dojo http://martialartsfriends.com/Shogen
