I went to nees kung fu in florida and there is belt system. There is white , yellow, orange

 

green,purple,blue,gold,red,brown,gray,black,black first dregee, secound degree,ect. ect. my friend bobby says there are no belts in kung fu.who is right. please tell me if u know.

Traditionally there a no belts in kung-fu; however, some schools have added systems for $$$, or for motivation.

 

Many of the "joe public" have the misconception that all arts have belts, and that a black belt is the end all be all of martial arts.

 

Are they belts or sashes you wore Rocko? Also under who's lineage does he fall? Lineage is very important to chinese martial artists. Also what style?

See told you I am right.

i think Almost every comercial school have a belt system now.

 

 

my school has a belt system i think mostly for money they make a lot of money of it

 

 

i heard a story that in ancient china monks who guarded the temple who had learned martial arts would wear a white belt to hold there uniform together,

 

but as years went past, and they became more experienced , the belt became very dirty and became black,

 

thus showing the system white to black

 

just something i heard i guess

 

 

not all comercial schools use belt.Most kung fu school don't use belts only a few due but that is not traditional.Belts are used to hold up your pants and protect your internal organs .

it depends on the school...we don't have belts at my school.

I never tried Kung-Fu, i think Kung-fu has belts!

I think some schools of kung-fu does have belts, some hasn't. I dont know, maybe it does have a belt, cause belts are for Ranking!
