For physical technique reps/time by belt level, what are the Black/MAIT specifications?

• A. 5 reps/30 sec
• B. 10 reps/1 min
• C. 20 reps/2 min
• D. 25 reps/2.5 min

Answer: (C)

Reps and time at the Black/MAIT level are set to test endurance while keeping technique solid under fatigue. Twenty repetitions in two minutes provides enough volume to show consistent form across multiple cycles, yet it’s short enough to maintain control and accuracy without rushing. This balance ensures you can sustain proper technique as conditioning comes into play, which is essential at higher levels.

The other options would either be too easy for this level (too few reps in too short a time) or extend the duration beyond what's typically required, making it harder to keep the technique flawless throughout.
