I’m preparing to test for my black belt in Kenpo after years of training - I had some time when I was in college, otherwise I would’ve been done a few years back, perhaps at least after 2 1/2 - 3 years of training for between 3-4 hours on average daily; repetitiously embedding the techniques and true mechanics of a real fighting system into my motor memory.

Kenpo students & master should & do wear black, which is to distinguish from the $X dollar amount ‘other systems’ allow you to pay for. If you have the money, hell, you can have the belt. In Kenpo, you _never_ pay for tests, you test when your trainer _knows_ you’re ready and perhaps, you’ll never even have the opportunity to test for black belt, because you haven’t trained enough.

Sorry, high kicks and lots of money do not equal black belt in Kenpo. Just worthiness, dedication, and hard training will permit you to acquire a black belt in Kenpo ;)
