We see levels beings used to indicate degree and providing a general percentage towards black.

However, better measures will be available - how much effective attention could be committed during practice / study?

Stats allow for a generally breakdown of the 'conceptual skills' the "what should i be trying to learn at blue belt?" has certainly different answers from the same start with a "white belt" asking. Likewise for a purple belt and so on. Additionally, one's ability to capture information from practice and observation and much imitation increases their effectiveness at the thinking about their own thinking about their skill development.

For now, it is sufficient to say that Awareness at 3 might seem like it will simply continue to increase, from 1 at white, 2 at blue and 3 at now purple. The treachery is that Awareness 4 and 5 have a new approach to their Brown and Black Belt hauntees. This takes the form of "Oh, that's not part of my game" or a generalized anxiety about some set of movements that are simply unfamiliar mechanics they imagine that they'll be expected to perform with the elegance of their most respected techniques.

Instead, we find that defining an anxiety in such way means it unnecessary to shrink away from whatever cutting thing that runs across your psyche from time to time. Instead, remember that there exists a practice where, to participate in such a thing, requires that you say, quickly, in that jump to conclusions ways that well-rehearsed sounds at tempo often afforded a smooth lack of questioning.
