Should a black belt be given out after only one year of training?

I'm against people getting a black belt for long service, when they're still tentative to spar mediocre at kata/forms hesitant to go in on a technique. Then rewarded for hanging around the club and sticking with it although no real progress has been made, just alot of fees been paid. Commitment doesn’t always make people good, with some you can either do it or you can't.

Should have seen the akido one I looked up first. Went along the lines of you can have trained another style of akido but never speak of it.

I think ukideshi programs might inherently attract cults.

ONE year... LOL Everything is possible. Like fake money. In one year (even full-time) things will be only at the surface of the brain, useless under pressure. Around five years is the normal.

Where I trained, to be instructor was mandatorily to receive the black belt. Sometimes it only means you can teach (even if you teach your partners since ever). It can be many things. It can be nothing, as 'your' motivational speaker proves...
