TKD_McGee Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 When do you consider a person officially not a newbie anymore? Yellow Belt? After 1 year of training? After being a fluent Sparr'er? Do unto others, as they done to you.
YODA Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 I'd say about Red - which is the 7th level in our structure from White to Black (There are 25 levels from white to black) YODA2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.ukQualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.ukQualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology)
Jack Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 I'd say it more depends on the Individual Practicioner's attitude and knowledge of the Martial Arts. If one is knowledgable, and trains hard, and picks things up quickly, and seems quite intelligent on many aspects of the art despite only having trained for 8 months, would you consider them a newbie? Individual, not belt rank, in my opinion. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com

SaiFightsMS Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 In my way of thinking a person looses their newbey type standing when they can help a new white belt perform some basic skill. Like how to line up, how to tie a belt, which side of the gi goes on top, even help a bit with the first kata. And be humble about it.
three60roundhouse Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 These are our levels White (you get three stripes) High white (yellow/white belt) Yellow High Yellow (all the high belts from not on are half black) Orange High Orange Blue High Blue Green High Green Red <-----me High Red Brown High Brown Black (Junior black if you're under 16) So altogether there are 15 levels, and really in our school it depends on who you are, not your belt color - I think I am treated aas pretty advanced, and everyone even at my rank is treated differently. I think you aren't treated with that much respect at all until black belt - "When the real training begins" [ This Message was edited by: three60roundhouse on 2002-04-04 19:46 ] 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!

Tobias_Reece Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 I have to agree with SaiFightsMS (us kobudo-ists have to stick together!!!) Someone is no longer a newbie when they can help other people "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.
