What is the longest time you have spent between testing?

[SaiFightsMS]

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.

[BlueDragon1981]

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.

from mid-yellow to yellow it took 7 months.

In the Shotokan Federation my club is in you have to stay an year to 2 kyu and 2 in 1 kyu. Guess it's a long time

[Tobias_Reece]

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.

 

Strange I know.....but interesting

[G95champ]

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.

[Kyle-san]

I've been training in Aikijujitsu since April and probably won't test until next April or May.

[Freestyler]

I graded once and I haven't graded since.

[kicker]

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.

[karatekid1975]

I never made it past 5th gup/kyu, so I donno. I was always on schedule. I'm currently only 7th gup/kyu.
