How long did it take you to get each belt you own ?

  • White: 3 years, 2 months - 2008-2014, inconsistent, started and stopped and changes schools a few times, training varied from 2-5 times per week @ 1-2 hours per session
  • Blue: 2 years, 5 months - 2014-2016, consistent, training 3x @ 2hrs. sessions
  • Purple: 2 years, 6 months - 2016-2019, consistent, training 3x @ 2hrs. sessions
  • Brown: was promoted early June this year, still maintaining the same 3x @ 2hrs. training schedule

So, half way thru Purple I started running a class/review once per week. Technically, my actual training time has been cut back some due to the first hour of the session being instruction. That being said, I've worked out a way to get some reps and make use of the time where everyone benefits.
