My instructor added 2 belts to his rankings. The curriculum is
now like this:
White - Time In Grade: 2 Mos.
Yellow - Time In Grade: 2 Mos. - Techs: 11
Sets: Star - Forms: None
Orange - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Stance - Forms: Short 1
Purple - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Kicking - Forms: None
Blue - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Elbow - Forms: Long 1
Green - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Finger - Forms: Short 2
3 Brn - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Striking - Forms: Long 2
2 Brn - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Coordination - Forms: Short 3
1 Brn - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: Staff - Forms: None
Red - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: None - Forms: Long 3
Red/Black - Time In Grade: 4 Mos. - Techs: 16
Sets: 2 Man - Forms: None
TOTAL: 36 Mos. 155 Techniques.
---------------------------------
It used to be 24 to get 3 Brn, 28 for 2nd, 28 at 1st.
Yellow had 11, and the rest had 16. Red, and Red/Black
didn't exist previously. Each belt required a form and at
least one set. Old system: 155 techs - 9 belts ... new
system 155 techs - 11 belts.
My instructor said that he's got a lot of students getting
stuck "in their browns". One student has been a 2nd
or 3rd Brown for 18 months. He feels it's a bit easier
to remember this way, without watering things down.
I personally like it this way, but I thought it'd be good
for a discussion here. Is anyone else doing anything
similar? Anyone doing anything way different?
