Maybe you should stop living the thug lyfe and start wearing jeans that fit :P
I'm very tall and my waist is under 30 inches. So thug lyfe is the only way of lyfe for me.

Strop would kill all of us if he wanted. He knows the human bodies weak spots and what they are called!
Ummm...I did a few different types for a few years. I don't remember the names. Hopefully I remember and will be back with a more useful post.

Someone from one of these countries with a national martial arts could hold a lower color belt, but be better trained than a person with a black belt from some place else.
That's why I'm asking what I'm asking. Ultimately, to me, attaining a black belt is still important, but definitely not for the sake of attaining a black belt in itself. And, like my fellow senior club members following the example of our instructor, we aim to be the national champion of at least one belt of either sparring or patterns before grading for black. To be entirely honest though I don't think I would be able to compete at the dan levels, most of them are either being groomed for international competition or tradies with a mysteriously large amount of spare time on their hands...
Strop would kill all of us if he wanted.
lol I would never want to kill anybody.

I don't know that many meridian points! Actually my main strength is that I'm unusually resistant to techniques that use them...

My school is Oh's Taekwondo (I have this habit of writing Oh's! Taekwondo, because of the mangaka Oh! Great, but that's another story altogether). Obviously named after Grandmaster Youl Young Oh, who brought the style to Australia. The distinguishing feature of the affiliated clubs is that we learn both the tageuk and polgwae forms, whereas the vast majority of WTF TKD clubs no longer teach polgwae. Practically speaking this means very little, except to say Grandmaster Oh felt it important that at least somebody knew how to pass on traditional forms.
My instructor is also an expert in iaido and wing chun (which I used to do but would have to probably train for another 3 years before I got any good at it). And sometimes his Brazilian jujitsu friends hang out at the club. And that's when I learn about meridian points.

I forgot to mention that i do ITF. and belts went white, white with yellow stripe. yellow, yellow with green stripe. green, green with blue stripe. blue, blue with red stripe, red, red with black stripe, black. and depending on your age when you start, its either one or 5 tests between white and white with yellow stripe. so yeah. all of that was 6 years for me. I did a lot of breaking but my instructor believed in letting kid's bones grow fully rather than possibly damaging them while they are still growing. my best was 2 inches of solid pine with one side kick and the same thickness with a back kick when i was 11. so yeah.
