Why do we need belts at all? I enjoy learning something new and simply getting better at what I practice (in this case BJJ). I guess a belt could show others that you've reached a certain level of progress, but in my mind that shouldn't matter. Progress is an individual thing. Also, with how easy it seems some belts are to get, they have already been devalued. At the end of the day, it is only you who knows your skill level regardless of a particular belt you have.
