I know but there hasn't been a 10th planet thread in awhile so I guess Im suffering from bash withdrawals

Hah! everyone knows the Bear teachings are by far inferior to my 7-point Northern Star Mantis Kata (7PNSMK for short)

Did you read about the thread about Ari saying that his instructor is also a Kosen Judo BB?

I guess the Judo guys can think Ari is a fraud now too.

But no its not ideal but it definitely will give you a taste of all self defenses. Just make sure to drill alot. I just don't really like the words "equivalent to a BJJ blue"

No we don't all test at the same time. We are invited to test.

We had a guy go for his yellow last night and was denied due to lack of technique so he is not handing belts out willy nilly.

Rodd explained to me we are looking at a solid two year time frame for blue maybe longer.

Sorry to stir up a hornets nest. Was just curious what you guys/girls thought of the ground techniques we need to know.

So I take it that you are invited to do the test every 6 months.
6 months to yellow
12 months to orange
18 months to green
24 months to blue

Failing your yellow is pretty harsh, will the guy quit training?
Did he have to pay for the test?

Alright man, the belts between white and blue really don't mean much. But that is a good time frame.
