White Belt
Always an interesting subject and hard to gauge.As far as black belt time frame goes I understand each style and organization have there own requirements, but rank is earned not given.Be that as it may, there is more to Black Belt than physical skills alone. There is a level of maturity that is involved. As a Black Belt you set the standard for the lower ranks whether you believe it or not.Everything you do has bearing on them.Also remembering that 1st Black is just the beginning step in a long and profitable journey.
