monkeygirl Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 Mine's in my sig, but there's one thing it doesn't mention...1st brown is the last belt before black! In fact, I have 21 days left until my blackbelt test starts! The countdown is on!! 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.

iolair Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 What does gup and kyu mean? Does it refer to amount of belts you've tested for?It means grade. The grades, for belt, go backwards in most martial arts, that I've seen. 1st or 0 kyu is usually a blackbelt. Example, I am a high purple belt, high 7th kyu, I believe. I'll check later.The amount of kyu grades (gup is the Korean equivalent, not sure what it is in Chinese?) varies from art to art .... but 8 or 9 is a typical number... i.e. Beginner 9th Kyu 8th Kyu 7th Kyu 6th Kyu 4th Kyu 3rd Kyu 2nd Kyu 1st Kyu 1st Dan (Black Belt) 2nd Dan 3rd Dan etc etc. Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
benedictbm Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Most of my stuff is in my signature but the reason I started Martial Arts is not. This is corny and old but like most of my friends when iwas 5 or 6 i wanted to be a ninja turtle. My mom wouldn't stand me being in such a contact sport at such a young age. Well, 5 years later my little sister got going in it and i couldn't just let her do it so i joined. I was hooked my first class. Since then i jsut kept going back.
psychospaz Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 6th kyu shotokan (green belt), but then that's pre-shodan, so it's not really all that important. Not that being a shodan would be important, but it would be somewhat semi-relevant here... I'll spar most anyone though.
SBN Doug Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Just realized I never replied to this one. However, it's in my signature. 2nd dan (Kyo Sa Nim) - Kuk Sool Won Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
