Fast belt advancement...

[Ollis]

The TAGB is the Taekwondo Association of Great Britain, a breakaway from the ITF group in the eighties run by Dave Oliver. from what I've seen they pretty much are an association primarily focussed on tournaments & semi contact sport fighting. I remember a few years ago they held a so called "world championship", but to enter you had to be a member of them if you were from the UK. I'm not sure sure how long their belt advancements take but I reackon they go along the ITF's guidelines of three years, but that is only a reccommendation for students who train at least twice a week. Seeing as most TAGB clubs I have seen locally only train once a week for an hour, I would be interested to see their standards required for black belt.

In my own association it will take you roughly 4-6 yrs to reach black belt training at least twice a week, but our syllabus includes a great deal of hapkido as well as extra patterns at black belt level due to our links to both the ITF & WTF.
