[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 51239, member: 221"] I'm sorry, let me explain better. The above four guidelines are the answer to your question though perhaps not directly. How you want to run your dojo is completely up to you in regards to titles, dojo ranks, IC interaction, etc. How your dojo structure is affected by the rules is subject to the listed four guidelines. Lets use a specific example One of your students gains their green belt and hits their brown belt before you, but you soon pass them and hit black belt before them and then gain dojo master first. How you want to run that as part of your IC dojo is up to you. You could pretend (its all pretend right :p ) that they have left your dojo and passed you in skill. In humility you went to them to learn and then eventually rose above them again until once more you were master. That part doesn't matter rules wise but I think its what you are after. What matters for the rules is that after hitting green belt they were foreverafter one of your dojo structure. They can no longer learn from you while they are of higher or equal tier. But once you gain dojo master, as long as they are of a lower rank you get to use one of their sig styles in a fight. [/QUOTE]
