How many hours and days do you have to have to move up a belt in Judo. I know it starts white belt yellow ,?

orange, green, blue, brown, black are they counting by days or the hours or how many times a week you train?|||Judo promotions are based on a points system. Depending on which national organization your dojo belongs to (USJA, USJF, or USA Judo) you will have to obtain a certain number of points and meet a minimum time in grade, as well as get a recommendation from your sensei. You get points for various activities, including entering tournaments, beating opponents, entering kata competitions, volunteering at tournaments and others, but this depends on the organization that your dojo belongs to, for example, in USJA, you get 2 points for beating an opponent your same rank, but you don%26#039;t get any points for that in USJF. Ask your sensei what organization the dojo belongs to and ask for a points guide.





However, Ken is right. The belt is not the most important thing, you should be training to learn Judo, not gain rank.|||It is mostly based on what club you%26#039;re from. The only objection that I have to Ken%26#039;s answer is that you don%26#039;t really %26quot;test%26quot; for your black belt. When your club instructors decide that you have become helpful in your club and that you%26#039;ve become that skill level, then they%26#039;ll award you with a black belt. However, this also may vary from club to club, so Ken%26#039;s answer may be valid at his club.





Judo is way better than Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kendo, and Wushu and all those other martial arts.|||This will vary significantly school to school and instructor to instructor, but you may be missing the whole point of training in the martial arts.





It%26#039;s not really about the time it takes, the next belt you will receive, or the rank you attain. It%26#039;s really about the journey itself. The journey is a multi-faceted one that has many requirements, not just hours of training. If you are in a decent school, hours of training will definately be important, but so will your knolwedge, your skill level, your level of participation, your character, and many other factors besides.





Don%26#039;t focus so much on how long, or the next belt. Focus on training, practiciing, and learning. The rest will come when it is time for it to come, and before you realize it, you will be ready to test for your 1st black belt.





If you really want to know the requirements for your next belt, the only person who can provide that information for you is your instructor/s.





Good luck
