Martial Arts Madness!

I'm going for my third stripe on Thursday evening. So the question becomes how soon after that can I get my orange belt? It could be as early as next week! Yikes!


You see, after you get your third stripe you have to have a Red Tip Review in which you go over all the material for your next test to ensure you've got a goot idea of what you need to do. Once they give you a red tip, you make an appointment for your belt test. In addition, the last Wednesday night of the month is set aside for belt testing because the higher ranks require tests of multiple hours instead of 20-40 minutes like lower levels. Next Wednesday is belt test night so they may try to have me do my red tip review between Thursday night and Wednesday so I can do my belt test on Wednesday.


I'm not in a hurry, but I'd best be prepared.
