Our school is undergoing a transition to new requirements and belt levels.

 

The class requirement increases with each grouping (beginner=white, orange, yellow; intermediate=green,purple,blue;advanced=brown, red) and goes from approx. 3-6 months.

In our club it is 3 months (or 20 lessons) from white, orange, red, yellow, green, purple, purple with a white stripe, then its 6 months from brown to brown with 1 white stripe, then 6 months from brown 1 white stripe to brown 2 white stripes, then a year from there to black !

everyone at my clubs seems to grade at different speeds and times, basically one grades when they are ready. However we too have a loosely followed minimum time period... from white to orange I'd say about 3-6 months, 0rand up to blue probably 9 months, blue to brown is about a year and brown to shodan is a year and a half, from there times range to 2 years + for nidan and three years for sandan etc...

I somehow doubt that karate schools of pre-WWII Okinawa had established grading requirements. I don't want a belt for showing up X amount of times. Honestly, most days I couldn't care what color my belt is because I know I have stuff to work on and trying to get the next belt rank won't perfect my technique.

 

I think masters should test students when they are ready for the rank. In the meantime, students should focus on their training.

As I recently posted in a different thread:

From white to yellow to orange tip to orange to green to blue to red to brown to brown to brown to black.

 

There must be atleast 5 months apart from your last gradings to next, for brown to black there must be atleast a year to get your permit to go to your gradings.
