    I was thinking the same thing being an Asian guy that grew up in Indiana, I immediately got that vibe as well!

    Damn... For real? Never entered my mind. Prob cause I was referring to the belt color or armor color, not skin color. I was thinking everyone enters in a line chanting white knights, white knights (Cobra Kai) I am not a white belt, not a Black Belt... I am a grey! I would like that to be my skin color as well. The whole racist shit needed to die along time ago. Who's left that racist? Are you? I know I am not, but I had a diverse childhood. You will never be able to judge a persons character by their skin color or bank account. Damn so much for my joke.....

    I think it's very interesting. And I'm cool with the name. Just like I'm cool with Jiu Claw and the Drowning Jiu. Some people might be confused about the meaning, but I get it.

    Yeah I didnt think that you meant it as racist, just the thing with white knights could be thought of to correlate with the white knights of the klu klux klan.
    Which could make the whole white knight chant thing a little bit awkward.....

    How would it be sandbagging if your fighting in the expert/adv divisions? We have several Blue Belts winning expert divisions already... We took alot of the Naga belts home from the midwest championships and took 3rd place as overall team award. So how about Grey Knights? Go back to the time of no belts, like it started. Grey implies you are between White and Black, where will be up to your opponent to find out! Just trying to add a little mystery, and fun to the competition scene. I think some of the other 10th Planet coaches can attest to some of my "beginners" skills. Phoenix fought up and won silver, I wanted him in the expert after they told him he would have to compete up a division. He beat the favorite for that division in his first match, and got the big head and got caught in his next. He will be the Ohio State Champion in a month! And he is a fresh White belt... It was his performance and Ian's humbleness that made me think of this idea. Ian displays that he is a White belt but I know he is Purple belt and a good Purple at that. But he doesn't need the recognition of Purple Belt to be the soldier he is. He just is....
