BJJ is 1 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 We use a belt system "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymac Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Some of the JKD systems do use belts as a ranking system. It depends on the individual instructor. Bruce Lee did not, but it doesnt mean that a qualified JKD instructor could not or should not. Ranks are really just a reward system and a way to keep track of time and experience in an instructors view of training. I hope it doesn't sound like I am putting down the belt system, because actually I promote it. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

However, I don't think it is necessary for all styles. I like it, but I would do a style that didn't have one as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronbvp Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I've never been a big belt fan. For those with JKD belt systems, how do they work? How does one advance without kata (which I never thought was a good way to rank fighters anyway)? Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french fri25 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i did JKD for 6 months at professional school and, yes, we had a belt system. did the JKD Bruce Lee taught personally have a belt system? no. some schools do, some schools dont. i think my school had belts just to hold things together a little better and to make it more organized. but, it wasnt a requirement at my school to wear your belt.
