* For the time being, graduation tests will only be applied to
black-belt, Instructor.
For the remaining belts to move up, it will be required only the
Instructor's signature on the affiliation card and a minimum
grace period. In the future, the graduation for black-belt and
brown-belt athletes will require graduation tests as well.
2 * Graduation for teens and pre-teens will be done according
the Instructor's own rules. For adults graduation the Instructor
will be required to follow the rules established by the
Federation.
3 * The Federation establishes a dead line for all athletes to
have their registration done in the respective belts. After the
registration, there will be a required grace period for the
athlete to move to the next level.
* From Blue-Belt to Purple-Belt - 2 years from the registration
date as a Blue-belt.
* From Purple-Belt to Brown-Belt - 1 1/2 years, from the
registration date as a Purple-Belt.
* From Brown-Belt to Black-Belt - 1 1/2 years, from the
registration date as a Brown-Belt.
*
this grace period is for athletes training an average of 4 - 5
days per week!!
4 * The time frame to graduate the athlete will be at the
Instructor's discretion, as long as the minimum grace period has
elapsed.
For instance, the Blue-Belt athlete may be kept in that level
for 4 years or more, if the Instructor feels the athlete is not ready to
become a Purple-Belt. On the other hand, even if the athlete has
mastered the skills of the Blue-Belt, he cannot become a
Purple-Belt, until
the 2 year grace period has elapsed.
Exception: If the athlete, at the time of registration, has
already fulfilled the grace period, without being graduated by
the Instructor, he will be granted immediate graduation. This
exception will be in effect until December 2005.
For instance if a purple-belt athlete has already remained on
that level for a year and a half, he will be able to register,
in 2005, to the brown-belt with his instructors approval. After the registration as a
brown-belt, the following steps will be followed, according to
the grace periods for each level of graduation.
5 * From December 2005 on, all the graduation rules have to be
followed, no exceptions applied. It's very important that all
athletes take care of their registration until the end of
December 2005, so everybody will be able to have accurate records,
showing their time of permanence on each level. Athletes
belonging to any level that are not registered during the
current year will be required to perform the necessary tests to
achieve the desired level.
In
case that the athletes of said belts - blue, purple, brown and
black do not register this year inside of the stated period,
when they do register themselves in the next years, they will
have to be given a belt examination for said belt.
