Pre-Dan Rank

[RAM18]

What are the pre-dan ranks represented by as far as the belt they wear?

We have a single Pre-Dan rank after 1st Kyu which is a BlackBelt with red stripes like this:

Once this rank grades Shodan they get a proper embroidered blackbelt.

At my dojo there is no pre-dan rank !!

In our case, they wear an Oreo belt (black with a white stripe down the middle).

HA, oreo belt. I like that, it gives me a good picture of what it looks like.

Maybe it should be called a Skunk belt?

All of what is required should be met by a good 1st Kyu or they shouldn't have got to 1st Kyu...

In Shindokan, we've no pre ranks at all, EXCEPT, our JBB, and they're represented by the "Oreo" belt that Wastelander speaks about.

We also have a junior black belt that used the "oreo" belt. I don't know if it's technically a "pre-dan" rank or not as it's just the equivalent of an adult brown belt meant to keep the kids motivated and keep them from dropping out.

A Junior Black Belt in my eyes are a Pre-Dan ranking.
