cross Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 in my style its whenever the instructor thinks the student is ready. In most cases it depends on what style you do, how often you train and the method your instructor chooses. about every 6 months for lower grades is a pretty good amount of time.
Sasori_Te Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 I don't think you should concern yourself with what's around your waist one bit. I'm not coming down on you but you sound a little presumptuous and a bit arrogant to compare yourself physically to a higher rank. Physical technique is just one aspect of the martial arts. Be patient and concern yourself with perfecting your own technique the best you can. By the way, I would never consider testing a student who came to me and asked for it. That is for the reasons mentioned above. The attitude is more important than the technique. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
