Important Notes
- • These estimates are based on averages. Your progression depends on many factors.
- • Quality of training matters more than quantity. Focus on deliberate practice.
- • Competition experience often accelerates progression.
- • Belt promotions are at your instructor's discretion based on skill, not just time.
- • Consistency over years matters more than intensity over months.
