karatekid101 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I was wondering, is there 10 degrees in the black belt level or are there more or less? Always practice never give up!!

isshinryu5toforever Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 depends on the style and association. Isshin-Ryu has judan. I think that Tang Soo Do uses 12. He who knows others is wise.

karatekid1975 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Not that I know of, isshinryu5toforever. I did TSD first, and my association only had 10 dan grades. I think most styles are the same as well. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryu5toforever Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Judo has 12, I thought i heard about one of the Korean associations having 12 too, maybe I was mistaken or that was just someone talking.

karatekid101 Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 At my Dojo I believe we have 10 degrees in the Black Belt Rank. KarateKid101"The answers to life aren't in the back of the book"- Charlie Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koryu Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 10 in my style, but 10th dan is reserved as an honorary rank after a hanshi has passed. The highest level a living person can achieve is 9th dan, and this usually happens after 50-60 years of training. "On Ko Chi Shin" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username9 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I always thought it was 10th Dan....but I guess either I am wrong or people have been told some porky-pies! (Lies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
