telsun Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 It is down to sensei' s discretion. He will invite students to grade when he thinks that they are ready. I have never known this to be under 3 months. He treats the children different though as they require the motivation more so than adults and the grades are only stripes not a full belt. But I have even known him to fail juniors on their low belts due to inability. He expects the best from us. I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"

karatekid1975 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 We have a class requirement rather than time requirement at the present, but it usually works out to be 3-4 months at lower levels, 5-6 at higher. There is going to be a change though: 3 months between each belt white-blue, 6 months between blue-black, with the addition of an additional belt rank of Sr. red belt. It all totals 36 months-if you test on time. Do you mean three month for each rank or belt? Then 6 months on each rank after blue? I'm just wondering, because my boyfriend still goes to the main school. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goju1 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 In our style, its based on number of classes. If you attend at least 3x week,you can do the colored belts up to brown in 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
