QUICKLY RANK YOUR STUDENTS OR WHAT?

Quickly Rank Your Students or What? One goes or is taken to a martial art school because the interested party would like to learn to defend himself, but it is possible that he has no idea what that is about. The normal thing is that when that new member starts his first class to not say the first lesson but class that this was not what he thought the most if he had never seen a martial art class. Well, this student as the days or weeks goes by, perhaps even a few months, when the time comes to hear about the exam. The exam is the moment in which a specific time must be met so that it is possible to pass from grade or stage to the next that follows, which will be normal to another ribbon of another color or a stripe or stripe that is given. adds to the color of the belt it brings. Not only has he spent that due time, but not only has he learned what he should know, but he has had difficulties, annoyances, pains, frustrations, among others, and there are three types of that time in which a student passes his exam. These are the normal, slow time, that is, when the time comes for the group to take the exam, that student is not ready and because it is almost ready, it does not necessarily have to be that if it is 6 months, it has to wait for 6 months to pass. more to pass the stage or quickly in which the student if it is in 6 months but in three and a half more you can see the dedication and effort that he has put into his training with good morals and selfrespect can be evaluated when he is tested or that you only be given the authorization to use the new rank. We are no longer in those times of before but it is still time that like the one before, let's say in the 1970s and that it is true that the training has changed but it still has a curriculum with which it is necessary to comply to which time has been dedicated and effort to achieve. Of course, this new rank your registration has a cost in addition to the dedication used in a fast, normal or slow time. That will be decided by the Master of that school or that class without mentioning the title of the examiner. This may be the owner of the school thinking that he is the highest ranking in that school, whether it is a Japanese, Chinese or Korean style martial art. So if you can achieve the black belt in 10 years or in two years and it will depend on various circumstances that if you experience this firsthand you will know but the important thing is that it is based on morality. This is that it can be passed from rank formally or informally. The normal procedure is the formal one in which if it is a large school it has a table of examiners and if it is not just that the line of the participants in training is one by one or together they show the teacher what they have learned and at the end they will grant them their new rank, which is validated by a certificate or can be informal, which is normally a student who is ready and the teacher does not want to delay their learning and that rank can be granted publicly, either by presenting an exam or only He says that he can now use his new rank and the delivery of the certificate publicly or not is organized. Each new rank equals the progress that student has made. Some take longer to prepare, others can do it in less time and the normal thing is that if you are prepared before the time they say is required, you will have to wait for the supposed time to arrive for the exam in the group that will be prepared in that proposed time. by the teacher or by the regulations

to be followed in his school so that if the student shows emotional and technical growth it is possible to advance earlier than normal. This intrigue, what would it be if that student was given the new degree? Not necessarily, but it is a sensitive issue in part since a format and regulations must be followed for that school and the organization to which it belongs. The important thing is that that teacher has not improperly achieved his rank and does not make his school what is known as the McDojo, which is normally for financial gain. This is good? Not really because it distorts why a martial art was made. The public is not aware of the differences between the various grading systems and people are often duped into Academies where black belts are awarded after a short period of training for obvious commercial purposes. This attitude is not only dangerous for the student himself, but also degrades the quality of the entire Martial Art. Every martial artist should know that the black belt is not a gift but a goal as well as a symbol of achievement with great effort within the highest quality grading system, from which the student and the martial artist in general benefit. Normally the schools that have a regulated format usually propose a minimum number of hours of training to be eligible for the next exam and it is possible that when they comply with that decree and the student is not technically ready, then they will have to wait for the next test. However, there may be schools or organizations such as associations or federations in which if there are enough students to form a group to take the exam before the usual time that other Academies have, even one or two students who are ready to take the exam are advanced and there is no need to wait for the normal group to take the exam. Is this bad? Not really unless they are from those schools that without the students having learned what is due by the number of Gup in Korean or Kyu in Japanese etc. that are equivalent to the colored belts that they use in those schools or organizations or worse than without having taught them anything or just to keep them happy they give them a quick rank and even give them Dan ranks, that is, Black Belts. Thus, there are schools, associations or federations that, if the students work diligently and show that they

are ethical teachers and have a good example, they accept to teach them quickly and can pass them through the ranks before the normal time, which is from a minimum of 4 months to a maximum of 8 months, to allow the students to be examined.
