I don't know whether this is aimed at a person or not. If it it aimed at a person, I would recommend you use the Private Messaging system. If it is aimed at the general public, could you please clarify your post? Thank you. :smile:

I really dont even get the importance of belts. At my club they seem to stand for nothing. There are orange belts better than green belts, green belts better than blackbelts !!! Also maybe there should be a different set of rules for under 16s becuase the standard of under this age is so different to that of adults of the same colour belt. :weirdlook:

Empty your mind : be formless, shapeless like water. Now you can put water inot a cup and it becomes that cup. Now water can flow and it can crash. Be water.

In the system i study motobu ha shi-to ryu karet we use the following belt sys.

 

white 8th kyu hachikyu

 

purple 7th kyu sichikyu

 

blue 6th kyu rokyu

 

green 5th kyu gokyu

 

green 4th kyu yonkyu

 

brown 3rd kyu sankyu

 

brown 2nd kyu nikyu

 

brown 1st kyu ikkyu

 

However i do know of people that we used to ba ssociated with that change the purple and blue belt ranks to yellow and orange after the split of the orgnization. nkju / seishinkan (after Soke Kuniba Shogo's death ) .

 

I also belive that in the Okinawan / Jaopanese styles the only person alowed to wear a red belt is a 9th or 10th dan

Are you in Jeet Kune Do? (JKD Kid)

 

If you are... I would be surprised if there were belts... Bruce Lee believed the only function of belts was to hold your pants up... he didnt believe in using them as a ranking system... (Information from The Tao of Gung Fu)

 

My system of Goju-Ryu has two belts... White... and Black... Although it will probably take around 5 or 6 years for me to reach Black...

yes a lot of schools use lots of belts and stripes to increase there financial gains.........lots of testing equal lots of money.

 

Well, my school has a lot of belts, but we don't have to pay to test, so I think it is just a self esteem booster, like we are always moving up.

Hey Gorgoth, your right, my system doesn't use belts. :smile: Bruce didn't think they were usefull. Like Bruce Said, "Belts are only good to hold your pants up"

 

We train to learn how to fight, and its never ending.

 

PS. Yes I'm in Jun Fan/ Jeet Kune Do.

ya... I also don't think in traditional Gung Fu there are belts... I dont know tho... the only Gung Fu type martial art i have taken was americanized shaolin stuff... and they had belts... but as far as i know... traditional Gung Fu did not use a belt system...

 

if any of you know otherwise... please... correct me... i would actually like to know...
