thats why i really like judo or at least the way most people in judo earnthere belts
to get promoted through my organizatin you HAVE to compete and you have to WIN against people your rank or higher
so even if you see a greenbelt on the mat you know that person has put it on the line, went out and fought and won.
but i do agree that belts are used to keep the jacket closed.. i train with some ridiculously great partners who have very low ranks just due to the fact that they have not competed much.. at my club we have a white belt who can throw a black belt (the bb came from another club and the white belt is home grown)
at the very least you had to have learned some things from this fight and that will help you down the road..
keep it up!!!
