From what I hear and have seen it usually takes on average about a year to get to blue. If your real good then maybe less, if you only get to train once a week like me, maybe more.

Also, on average, about 10 years for black belt. On average I would say.

Oh, that's not alot of belts. No wonder. Ours is like this:

White
Yellow
Yellow/blk stripe
Orange
Orange/blk stripe
Green
Red
Purple
Brown
Brown/ blk stripe
Brown/blk stripe (second)
Black.

It can be. Our school doesn't do a ton of competitions so we base promotion more so on an actual promotion test (still preformance based). But when we do have competitions and you do really well you can still be promoted based on that. It really varies school by school. While the color of belts stay the same some schools dont do stripes. Others add different color belts in between.
