    What should I do if I don't get a slip in more than 16 weeks?
    Community Answer
    Always ask questions like, "What do I need to work on?", "Could you watch me and give me some tips?" or, "Can we spar?" This could be to your sensei or any members in your class. Also try mixing it up by attending more classes because of the different teaching techniques and people that vary across regions. Remember everyone is different and some senseis can guide you better than others.
