For each belt in a martial art, about how much better in skill is it than the previous grade?

Let's say untrained is 0%.





You might say white belt (in-training) is 5% better than that.





If it's not an even rise from grade to grade, how much between grades?





e.g. Untrained %26gt; White = 2% : White %26gt; Yellow = 5% : Yellow %26gt; Red 20%

the belt should show the persons growth as in school.


A middle grade naturally being the middle belt which would equate to 50% of the needed curriculum to meet the requirements of the Black which should equate to understanding of the principles of the system.


Black belt simply means that you now understand what your learning..


A Green or Brown belt can woop a Black in the same style of same fitness. The skills learnt at all stages are intended to work, just that a Black can put them together better.


Choy Li Fut has techs you learn and that is your ranking point.


each belt doubling the next. 40 techs from white to yellow, 80 from yellow to green and so on. Many styles have exact skills to learn, and ranking is easy then, like a school test.
Reply:This is individualistic. Someone may "jump" 10-20% in a single grade while another person may only progress at 1-2% at every grade.
Reply:Once again, its subjective. What one person learns in a month may take another person a week.





Like the person above me said, one person may only get better by 5% while another may get better by 10%.
Reply:These arbitrary numbers you're trying to assign are meaningless.
Reply:It should always be twice the amount of knowledge per ranking.
Reply:Every grade should be 10x better than the previous grade.





Thus a first degree black belt (shodan) is ten times better than a brown belt.
Reply:i gave up my belt and went back to white belt i feel much better now and train harder
