JKD Belt ranks.

[Cmon]

At my dojo we have no belts or any way of showing rank. I was wondering if any other JKD dojo's do it differently if they have some way of showing rank?

 

My instructer has come up with an idea that we could have like a miniture belt sawn on our club t-shirt to show rank. I don't know whether JKD strictley doesn't have belts etc but i think he has decided to do this because some people have been requesting something to show rank.

See i think it would be a better idea to do something like that. My sister suggested having different coloured bandages around your fist to represent rank which i thought was a pretty cool idea.

I don't think jkd have belt ranks. I could be wrong , I don't know much on the issue, I just thought they had tittles for rank.

[Cmon]

We do. But we are going to have something to represent rank because some people have been asking if we could.

Sounds like something Bruce wouldn't aprove of. But, he also didn't aprove of following tradition... Funny Concept.

Well it is for fun factor really.

In Italy the JKD/kali escrima (Inosanto lineage) organization named AKEA has colored labels on black/grey shirt:

 

black shirt/Yellow label

 

black shirt/orange label

 

black shirt/green label

 

black shirt/blue label

 

black shirt/red label

 

grey shirt/black label (BB equivalent)

 

grey shirt/red label (Instructor grade)
