In my little world
Blue belt = advanced player and at least 3 years on the mat
Purple belt = assistant instructor and at least 7 years on the mat
Brown belt = straight bad ass, and can give anyone anywhere a run for their money. 10-12 years of training.
Black belt = master of the art. 12-15 years of mat time, and probably a lifer (i.e. owning their own school)
There are ONLY FOUR colored belts. This is not some TMA with seven or ten belt colors, so everyone can get promoted once or twice a year for showing up x number of times. IMHO if you want to have a nice colorful belt to show off because you memorized some form or kata this is not the sport for you, "Not that there is anything wrong with that" :redface:
thats cool man, but in my world, you get a blue belt when you are winning white belt divisions and hanging with the blues on the mat in training
i hope some of your dudes dont compete, its kind of wack to have a 3 year white belt in a division with a 3 month guy you know
3 years is a long time to be slumming
