Belt Promotions too Fast?

And just what does Groundhog Day have to do with this?

i went to mcdojo about maybe 5/6months ago and they tested every 3/4 months regardless of what was going on. the school itself was aimed at kids and most of the black belts there were still in junior or early high school wtf ????? thinking that the fact the parents were paying vast sums had a fair bit to do with it............

sad really........... compare this with the "you'll fight when we say you're ready" attitude that you find in muay thai or mma schools

I've seen places where lots of the black belts were ten years old or younger. In a nearby town there was even this story in the paper about a six year old boy who got a black belt. That is when you know you've got McDojos.

Anyway, at my dojo they hold tests every 3 or 4 months and its up to the student if he or she wants to sign up and take the test. That does not mean they will pass, however, and as a matter of fact its not uncommon for students to fail.

Same thing. Over and over. And over. And over...

Well in this case I was asking Buka.
