The GB belt chart is only meant to set the minimum time between promotions.

There is a standard of a week that has also been said as two weeks. But most schools would be COMPLETELY cool with letting you come train longer if needed. If you start getting into months of course it would be different..but a couple to a few weeks is no problem.

That's not to say an instructor can't use his discretion on promoting I suppose, but it's not solely based on skill it seems.

The belt system is a MINIMUM....meaning you wont get promoted faster than that. But it doesn't mean your are "owed" your belt at that time. Our instructor holds back on stripes and belts CONSTANTLY...and the higher you go the more he holds back.

I train @ GB Birmingham under Braulio Estima, best academy in the UK, possibly in Europe!
Things work a little differently over here than the US though i think.

Did you enter the NO GI open? My coach is A Machado from GB Cambridge/Lisbon, heard it was a great event.
Things here are a lot different too.
