How do you explain to someone who doesn't know much about martial arts what a recommended black belt is?
because i currently have a rec. black belt
I think that if you are trying to hard to impress upon people your "advanced" rank you are missing something important. Your belt ranking is just a marker. It is something to be proud of, no doubt there, but it isn't something that you should flaunt around.
If you haven't earned the rank (even if you are recommended and treated as if you are that rank) then don't tell outsiders.
If you have a black belt, leave it at that. If you don't want to admit to being anything less, tell people that you are in an extended examination period for your black belt or something equally half-truthed.
Again, don't worry about rank and what others know about of your rank. I've forgotten the exact quote, but it goes something like "A belt is just a piece of fabric two inches thick that won't cover your butt." I believe one of the Gracie's said that, if I'm wrong then I'm claiming it as my own.
