  • The estimated time in each belt is in average from 6 months to 2 years before you be promoted to the next belt (from white to black belt).
  • Belts ranking change times above are based in a minimum training schedule of 3 classes a week.

Stripes or Dans on the belt:

  • Each belt from white to brown can receive from 1 to 4 stripes on before changing to the next color.

    This means that there is a gradual improvement of the students towards grading.

    If the student improves rapidly he can receive the next belt straight away without having any previous stripes on his belt.

     

  • Black belts need 10 stripes to become a Coral Belt (Red and Black belt like a Coral snake).

  • After Coral many more years will come to the Red and final belt ranking.
