Elite-Fighters Rank Grading System©
Novice
- beginning awareness of subject area, but only
abstract concepts and ideas. Novices posses little or no ability to
put ideas into practice in a reliable way. They apply their learning
by following a set of rules without regard for context.
- Situation decomposition - needs elements to be clearly
and objectively defined
- Decision making behavior - follows rules without
consideration of context
- Exercising judgment - none
- Skills & tools - exposed and aware and able to
apply if directed
- Formal training time - 2 to 5 days
- Training with practice - 1 to 2 months
A novice in the martial arts, therefore, is one who can function to
a degree in a classroom or instructional setting, but still requires
a great deal of practice, training, an internalization to be able to
function adequately for combat survival.
