My gym doesn't do the belt whipping either. Usually we have a gauntlet for the new belts where everyone at the promotion ceremony rolls with the new belts. 2 minute rounds with no breaks. It's exhausting, but really makes you feel like you earned it.
My gym doesn't do the whole gauntlet or belt whipping thing and I'm glad that's the case. I've always found it uncomfortable and regressive, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who believe its obligatory for their gym culture.
After almost a year i was able to attend my first seminar. I did enjoyed it as i was able to see more people besides from the small group i train with in the mornings. We had two session and at least it for me it was something new.
I did got a new strip on my white belt so now i have 2. so that really makes me happy, the only thing that kind of was not expecting was the guys hitting all new belts on their backs with the belts.
