ShotokanKid Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 How many black belts does your dojo have (that currently train)? List your style, too.I do Shotokan karate and my dojo has about 10 or 11 black belts.P.S. This includes the head instuctor. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

SANCHIN31 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Goju.We have a 4th dan,four 2nd dans,and three 1st dans. A blackbelt is not the beginning,it's a piece of cloth,that's all.
younwhagrl Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 I train in Youn Wha Ryu and we have 10 black belts (seven bb, one 1st dan, one 2nd dan, and one 3rd dan) •JUST TRAIN•Student of the Han Method"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.

younwhagrl Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Well in our system after we test for black belt they just tie a black belt around your waist with not stripe..you have test for dans..does that make sense? •JUST TRAIN•Student of the Han Method"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.

karatekid1975 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Wow. Thats hard. We have 4 dojangs now (one is about to open). We have one Master instructor (8th dan), 4 3rd dans, I believe, 3 or 4 2nd dans (two of them are juniors), and I couldn't count the 1st dans. In My dojang alone, there are, at least, 10 that actually train. Laurie F
ShotokanKid Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 @younwhagrl: what is the difference between bb and 1st dan...bb is black belt1st dan is the first "degree" of black belt.All 1st dan are black belts, but not all black belts are 1st dan.

Squawman Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 We have about 40 black belts from 1st to 3rd dan (I'm a 3rd dan). Here is a question along the same line though. How many people have recieved black belts in your studio but no long train and why? Who has a black belt only class? Alot of people who recieve thier belts often quit because they are no longer taught anything new or are made to teach the class they are in just because they are the highest rank.
ninjanurse Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 I'm with Laurie...the 1st degrees are numerous at two of the four schools! I'm going to guess between 15 and 20.
