It depends how dedicated you are to putting in the mat time and reps, theres no real set time frame to get promoted some people have got promoted in months, others years.
white to black can take 20 years if your only training 1 or 2 times a week
One year to blue is average. Add two to three years more for purple. Two to three more years for brown. And from brown to black varies
I got my blue after about 10 months. But I also train 6X per week. Competing (and winning) is usually a pretty major factor in promotions for most instructors as well. We have guys who have been white belts for 2+ years because they dont compete.
U get whatcha put in it bra! just don't ask for a higher rank than white belch cause I've seen 1st hand people getting a year tacked on cause they ask and think they need it. The place I train our instructor gets pissed when people ask weird I no.
I found this in the forum somewhere. Not sure how up to date it is but its the outline I'm following. Good luck!!
For those of you that are interested in a 10th Planet rank and are not
enrolled in an official 10th Planet school, you will need to be a member of
10thplanetjj.com for at least 6 months. No one walks into a new school and
gets ranked right away no matter how good they are, you have to prove your
loyalty. You will then need to post on the Nibiru forum 15 competition wins
on video with the 10th Planet logo on your person in every match(you can
have other school patches too). The final test will be you making a 10
minute video, uncut and unedited of you running thru everything you know 1/2
guard, everything you know rubber guard, everything you know twister and all
the deep hook transitions to spider web. Do not teach to the camera just run
thru all the techs swiftly and call out the names of the positions and moves
as you go thru them. Everything should fit in a 10 minute video that I will
evaluate. I need to see that you have at least 75% of the system down.
Naturally the technique video will be critiqued alot harder for a purple
than a blue, or for a brown than a purple. 10th Planet head instructors that
are non black belts can only rank their students to blue. All Nibiru
warriors that enrolled in official 10th Planet schools that are run by non
black belts that want to get their purple or brown must be first recommended
by their instructor to me and then submit the 10 minute technique video to
me personally. You gotta show me how much you know without looking at notes.
Easy right??
If you don’t have a patch on your shorts then just flash the 10th Planet
gang sign into the camera before or after your match. It’s easy, right hand
pointing down, left hand making an “O” with the thumb on top. That will be
enough for me
I ve heard a little about this. has this acctualy been accomplished by anyone.. I feel like it would be a tough task if your not training with 10th planet instructor or students.Quote:
