Q: from Tigger Do Kickboxers test for belts? why or why not?

Q: from Tigger, Do Kickboxers test for belts? why or why not?
A: great question, and a rare one, no belts in most kickboxers, schools
most fitness kickbox programs don't really care about levels. Some programs have ranking systems
they might use sashes, tee shirts, arm bands of different colors, in old school programs usage of levels might be from the rookie to newbie to beginnger to intermediate to advanced
in boxing/kickboxing the levels were easy Amateur or Professional
and your levels were mandated by the org/sanctioning bodies.

at griffin martial arts we might use a unique belt ranking program
with fitness tests and kickin' katas for those in our upcoming elite kardioarts kickboxing
and a seperate belt ranking system for our upcoming xka--> xtreme Kardio Art
a point kickboxing system that uses sparring rounds and equipment certification.

each belt would have a stripe going down the middle for each specific program
elite or xka
