I understand people advance at different rates than others. However, I have seen guys be white belts with no fight experience become "advanced belts" (brown, black) in a couple of years.
I can understand it if you have previous fight experience, coming from a different but similar style, or are just a stud of an athlete.
However, do you believe a guy or gal starting from scratch should be allowed to advance that quickly (about 2 years) to brown or black belt level? How does this reflect on the school itself, the instructor, and the validity of their rank?
This is not meant to bash anyone's achievements, however, what are your thoughts on belt advancement. What is acceptable versus what is a sign of a black belt factory?
Thoughts?
