Both you and I could spar and in about a minute, we would know what level the other one is. Truth. Aikido doesn't have that same limitus test that BJJ does, or Judo, or Muay Thai, Sambo, any combat sport.
What is it, like every 5 years you get a stripe on your Blackbelt in BJJ. Or was it 3? One of those. It's the same thing with any other martial art. Time in rank.

I Think it's every 3 years up til 4th degree then it go's to like 5 or 10 something silly.....
agreed on the rolling thing thats how I judge how to go with partners is the first min of sparring.. you can tell right away if they are smooth like me or jerkers and muscle freaks.....
I dunno I know all the fake belt bs and all that stuff.. but I dunno .. call it old habbits hard to break....
now a days rank is more like you said time...
Ive rolled blackbelts and been rolled by solid white belts... ive almost stopped the belt system all together and just wear what ever belt I got on me that day weather it be my white or purple.... helio said the belt covers 1 inch of your waist the rest is up to you
plus all I need a belt for is to choke people with...
