Lost in Osaka Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Kyu Ranking:10th-3rd-white2nd and 1st-brownShodan- blackThis is how things work at my Dojo. Then again in the adult class there are only 3 students reguarly (including myself) and we are all Shodan or higher . Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was destroyed in one!

baronbvp Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I think my federation uses a lot of belts for two reasons:1. It makes them money every time you test for a belt and pay $30 for a $4 piece of cloth and a certificate.2. It keeps students motivated, particularly kids, to earn a belt when they've really learned well another kata or two. That keeps students in the dojo and keeps the dojos solvent.I don't really care; I kind of like the idea of white/brown/black from back in the day when the dirtiness of your belt showed your skill level. But even I like to advance. I'm not too keen on paying $30 each time but in the big scheme of things, if it helps the business of karate overall, I don't mind.Our belt system:WhiteYellowOrangePurpleBlueBlue w/Green stripeGreen w/White stripeGreenGreen w/Brown stripeBrown w/White StripeBrownBrown w/Black stripeBlack Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess.

Shorin Ryuu Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 My system uses the 10 kyu/10 dan ranking structure. As stated in other threads (this topic really does seem to come up a lot), my current instructor actually just uses white belt (10th kyu, I suppose) and brown belt (corresponds to somewhere around the 3rd~1st kyu level I guess) before shodan (he doesn't test students either, just gives them the belt if he thinks they are ready). Its a nice way to weed out those in it just for belts and it keeps cost down for those sticking with the training (although he only charges $20 a month anyway). My first Shorinkan instructor used the 10 kyu system, but he didn't charge us for any of our color belts, so I still lucked out.
