How long did it take you to get from white to yellow, or your next belt?

Tang Soo Do/Tae Kwon Do

In my school, yellow is the third belt (9th Kyu). Red was first after white.

 

The school holds gradings every three months, so it took me 6 months to progress from white to yellow. There is no rush. Your instructor will ask you to grade when he thinks you are ready. i know it's frustrating, you want the next belt so badly, but have patience, you'll get it in the end :)

It's my view that you should enjoy the ride during the trip and not worry so much about the destination. You'll get there eventually. The belt isn't nearly as important as the learning that earned it.

From starting karate until taking my first belt (orange belt) took me about 2 and a half months.

 

There's no rush, though. Your instuctor should know when you're ready to grade and will let you know. Take your time and enjoy your martial art. There's more to life than gradings, even if I am worrying a bit about my next one!!!

I had to dig out my old certificates..would you believe it was March of 1975! lol

 

It took me about 2 1/2 months. Minimum required is 2 months..that's about normal, but I have a blue belt that hasn't been promoted in over 10 YEARS! We joking call him Master Blue Belt.
