Do you think that a new type of grading system is needed for all Martial Arts? At the moment, Martial Artists are constrained for going any higher grade wise by their age length of time in the Martial Art. I think that all students learn at different rates, so they should be taught at the level they are at, not their grade. For example, when I started Judo, I was very good , and at my first grading, I beat two brown belts and two blue belts. I ended up with a yellow belt because they frown upon skipping grades. But why? Surely you should get the grade you deserve.
