Quite Right
Quite Right Fred:
Having my diplomas from Sensei Trias did not help me in the slightest way.
Were I to have someone come in to my dojo in the same situation, I would not 'take his Black Belt away"
I, for example, would simply prepare him for Sandan-assuming the person had a USKA Nidan-and not put him up until he or she was ready for Sandan Testing.
I note that some technical points I mentioned elicited little comment, but that's quite alright.
