Black belts in your dojo


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

@younwhagrl: what is the difference between bb and 1st dan...

bb is black belt

1st dan is the first "degree" of black belt.

All 1st dan are black belts, but not all black belts are 1st dan.

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.
