The belt ladder
Belts are earned by testing, never by time served. This is the pace we see when a student trains steadily, from today.
Who is training
Classes a week
At two classes a week, most Juniors test for black belt about 3 years and 4 months from now.
Testing is by invitation, when the skills are there. Black belt tests need at least three years of training and, for juniors, a minimum age of 12.
