SaiFightsMS Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Think not about the testing schedule of your school think back along your training to the longest time you have spent between testing for your next rank. For example I was a 2nd kyu brown belt for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragon1981 Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Well I think it would be this current rank.....about 3 and a half years now I've been this rank. Of course with changes in my life I can't go to class but only once a month........that kind of makes things difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias_Reece Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I got my 1st Kyu at 11 (I think) then my 1st Dan at 15 This is purely because my club did a series of 1st Kyu gradings to recognise seniority - you had to grade for your 1st Kyu 7 times. The club didn't believe in giving BBs to ppl under 16. I joined a new club when I was 15 at got my Shodan.

G95champ Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Well I made my second Dan in Oct. of 97 and I have not or wanted to test since. LOL. As far as Kuy ranks go I spent almost a year at 5th Kuy. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."

Kyle-san Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I've been training in Aikijujitsu since April and probably won't test until next April or May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestyler Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I graded once and I haven't graded since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I think it was around 9 months or something close to that. I think I could have gone earlier but I couldn't go to the belt test so I had to wait for the next one. when you do your best it`s going to show.

karatekid1975 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I never made it past 5th gup/kyu, so I donno. I was always on schedule. I'm currently only 7th gup/kyu. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
