Nuts

I declare it to be a verified fact; people are nuts.

On Thursday, a whole bunch of people reached the point in their training where they are permitted to join the illustrious Saturday morning Jiu-Jitsu class. They all seemed very pumped about it on Thursday.

This brings to about ten the number of White Belts who can attend the Saturday class.

Here's the kicker. You need to attend 12 of these classes or you'll never, ever get promoted to Blue Belt and therefore never be allowed into the advanced class.

So how many of us were there for the Saturday class? Exactly two of us. That's nuts.

This was my sixth Saturday class. Since I've been coming only three other White Belts have attended at all. One guy has been there twice, and two guys once each.

I guess they don't want to get to the really cool advanced class.
