How do you get from one belt to the other?

Most kickboxing schools do not use the belt system. The ranking system is not used. It iis up to the instructors to tell you what level you are at. It is a sport not an art.

well We do have belt teating and you have to go at a time that the instructure says so that you can test for the next belt :nod:

that's interesting i didn't know kickboxing didn't use belts...are thai boxers ranked by a "belt" type system?

Well Brutality, to tell you the truth I havent memorized them and not exactly sure what you have to know for each one to go to the next belt.

 

Well it depends on what your doing like boxing or Muay Thai or Kickboxing. Plus on your trainer he is the one that well let you pass and he probably well have a chart or something in which he is looking for what you have to know. You could ask your trainer for what you have to know to pass each test

 

Oh if you want me to tell you a breif description of each i think i could.

 

But here is our ranking system

 

white belt

 

white/yellow belt

 

yellow belt

 

yellow/green belt

 

green belt

 

green/blue belt

 

blue belt

 

blue/brown belt

 

brown belt

 

brown/black belt

 

black belt.

i completely disagree, i believe kickboxing is a martial art, just like boxing or wrestling for that matter, kickboxing aids you and helps you in self defense, thus making it a martial ART

Titanic - to sum it up, a lot of boxing/kickboxing/muay thai schools will not operate by a belt system, but some will. You will find after a while studying that belts do not matter anyway, and what does matter is your own skill and experience.

 

Ad, I find classifying something as a martial art or not can be more tricky than expected. The word martial means combat or war. Thus training in any fighting system is training in a martial style. However, the meaning of art can be confused - is the art simply in practicing and perfecting technique, or must a style have certain aspects to be considered an 'art'?

 

Personally, I think Kickboxing can qualify as a martial art, it revolves largely around sport but also self defence - its combat orientated and if you consider it an art or not is up to the person.

 

All very confusing. :lol:
