Color Striped Black Belt --- Management Belt (Colored Stripe Represents Actual Rank)
Pink Belt --- Normally Worn if a Student Forgets His/Her Belt to Class

The "Average Time Required" column is a general estimate of how many months or years is usually necessary for rank advancement of a student training full time (6 hours a week minimum) within the System under a Certified M.A.S.T.E.R. System Instructor. In no way should the "ATR" listed above be used as a reason for promotion alone, as all requirements for each individual rank within the Systems curriculum have to be meet both before and during testing's.

The "ATR" is best served as a guide for the minimum time frames allowed through each rank before eligibility for testing becomes available.
