Shaolin-Do Rank Advancement

The material for each rank in Shaolin-Do is listed below. Advancement in the lower ranks (White - 3rd Degree Brown Belt) should take three monthes between each rank. Once a student achieves the rank of 3rd Degree Brown Belt, the time between each rank increases to six monthes between each rank. Therefore, the time to progress from White Belt to 1st Degree Black Belt should be no less than two and one half years. Once a student advances to 1st Degree Black Belt, the time between ranks becomes the number of years equal to the next rank. For example, advancement from 1st to 2nd Degree Black Belt should take at least two years, from 2nd - 3rd Degree Black Belt should take at least three years, etc.
