It seems strange to me that those test requirements are listed as being in days. Would classes not make more sense? Or is it assumed you are taking x classes per week?

Berney, I train at a USAF dojo, too. It's not listed as classes as we only count
each day of practice not
each class. So if you train 5 classes a day for 5 days then only 5 days count not 25 hours. If you counted each class then someone could test for 5th kyu in less than three weeks. It takes a lot longer than three weeks to learn what you need to know for 5th kyu. However, this usually doesn't matter because most people only take one class a day. When counting more than one class might come up is during seminars and training camps where you can take four to five classes a day or dojos large enough to offer two or more classes a day. Given that one day of training is still one day of training.
