Its often debated, but I tend to agree with this. The problem is that not ALL blue and white belts will rip on heel hooks or will not know how to keep themselves safe in defending heel hooks. There are probably a lot of blue belts who know more about footlocks than black belts. Its a concrete line, but I think it fits.
