| Nice article. I agree many instructors have watered down requirements and actually rob students of valuable life learning lessons only acquired through long and arduous training. I have been in the martial arts for 38 years (I still have my day job too). |

baron,
I've seen a few schools that have their contracts set up for blackbelts. The two I know of are an eighteen month agreement to hit black belt and the other a twentyfour month deal. Each has some kind of attendence policy attached as well if I recall. Now, I'm not 100% certain those places are still open though, but I knew of a couple of their students. Not bad people, but when they were freshly minted blackbelts, their skills were...not quite as good as they should have been.
