Goju Ryu- curious about belt/kada system

[bbk2132]

Hello, I do Goju Ryu and i was wondering what the kada/belt system was for other schools in my style. I mean, at what belts do you learn what kadas?

In my school, i varries between age-groups, but if your above 14;

(bare with my spelling)

White belts do San Dan Gi kada's

10th-geikie sai di ichi

9th- di ni

8th-still di ni

7th-4th-saifa

3rd-2nd-siayunchin

1st-shesoshin

I am more curious about the black belt part of it though

for jr. blackbelts, i know you learn sanseiru and seipai, but i am not sure and i highly doubt you learn karumfa when you still a jr. shodan.

But then, if you have been a Jr for at least 4 years, when you turn 18, you test for nidan instead of shodan.

my explination of how my school works may be a litle confusing...but i am really just curious how other schools do it, so please share!

We use both Shotokan and Goju Ryu katas in our school.

Here are the Goju Ryu ones

Yellow - Taigyoku Shodan

Orange - Shotokan kata

Green - Saifa

Blue - Gekisai Dai Ichi

Red - Shotokan kata

Brown - Sanseru

Brown + black tip - Seiyunchin

Brown + 2 black tips - tensho + a shotokan kata

1st Dan - Choose from Seipai or 2 other shotokan kata

2nd Dan - Choose from Kurarunfa or 2 other shotokan kata

3rd Dan - Choose from Shisochin or 2 other shotokan kata
