how?
belt colors go by how much techniques you learn
and then theres a stripe between each belt level
like, there a certain set of techniques and a form for each belt color
you usually learn 1 technique per session, which is about 2 hours long
i went mon-thur, so thats 4 techniques per week
the instructor made a mistake with me, thinking i was 12 years old, when i was actually 13. so he was teaching me as if i was a junior. when he found out i needed to be taught at the adult level, i ended up skipping 2 stripes (i went from blue to red, and then red to brown. so basically i sped up the time it took to get a black belt by half a year.
and it wasnt a mcdojo either cuz in hyuk suh, the guy who created kuk sool won, comes to all the black belt tests, which is once every 3 months
