2nd Black Belt
My response is "It takes that long to see if someone has green belt skills?" etc. etc.
But I do thank you for the information and we'll see what else we get to compare.
Most martial art schools do not set up students to fail. A good teacher will know before the student takes the test if they are a good candidate for the rank they are testing. I am sure the length of the test has nothing to do with giving the teacher time to decide if the student can pass/fail.
Don't the teachers in Kajukenbo work closely enough with their students to know before hand? Granted there can always be surprises -- a student can have an off day -- but for the most part, when you are ready, you are ready. And the teacher should already know when his/her students are up for the test. The length of test is not the measure of rank.
