I didnt know you werent allowed to wash your belts.
Thats also something the Shaolin are very strict on, we have excellent low posture. Same with Tai Chi.
Can't wash them and people who wash and/or cut up their belts to make them look older are generally frowned upon.
As for shaolin, the word shorin is came from Shaolin, my karate class is primarily based on Shudokan (passed down from the Late Grand Master Kanken Toyama) and Shobayashi Shorin Ryu (passed down from Grand Master Eizo Shimabukuro). Though we also have some aspects from a few other systems of karate.
As for the pirate vs. ninja. A ninja is trained in stealth meaning he could come up and slit a pirate's neck before the pirate ever knew he was there.

Ive always found the concept of belts quite alien because chinese martial arts dont have them. I did Taikwondo when i was 9 and thats the only experince i have had with belts.
H2SU, Kyle is only being silly. Hopefully he gets that you dont like guys flirting with you now.
Pirates or Ninja's? hmmm
I like them both, maybe i will be a ninja pirate

Maybe the belts are alien to Shaolin but they do help keep your clothes on.
Besides, if nothing else you can always take it off and use it as a weapon. Maybe not a very good weapon but I'm sure it would have some use.

I've actually been thinking about it and there's this one move, where it's a one-knuckle strike into the back of the hand after a punch and I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before, but using that with my car keys, it could really be effective.

I usually pull out a set of wooden nunchaku. My opponent anticipates what I might do with it and that is his downfall. I merely strike the two ends together sharply making a loud noise and out from the woods 20 of my bodyguards come out of hiding and take care of my light work.
