Our belt system goes:

White, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Green, Brown, Black. Only black has degrees. So six kyu belts.

There is no fee for testing for any belt level.



This question can be taken two ways.

1) How often do you offer scheduled "gradings" for rank advancement?

A: We don't, all test are individual, and when the student is ready.

or

2) How long does the average student take to advance between belts?

A: For us the average advancement is something like: Yellow, one month, Orange: 5 months, Purple: 6 months, Blue: 1 year, Green: 1 year, Brown: 1.5 years, Black: 1.5 years. There is no minimum "time in grade" requirement, we test when the student is ready.

Do you charge for the new belt and certificate.

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't realize there was a question for me.

Do you charge for the new belt and certificate.

No we don't.

Our total fees for a student are:
Monthly fee: $40
(Family rate: $20 additional for each other family member)
Yearly Insurance fee: $10

All equipment, uniforms, and gear is sold at wholesale prices.

As you can see, we really aren't trying to make money, just trying to pay the mortgage on the studio and keep the lights and water running.
