ShotoAnn Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 I'm a newbie to Martial Arts. I just started Shotokan. A lowly white belt AnnWhite belt Shotokan.
SaiFightsMS Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 No white belt is lowly. A serious student regardless of rank is respected here.
benedictbm Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 My signature pretty much says alot of the questions being asked here but a few arent answered in it. I started three years ago. I stay in it because it is fun and I have about nothing else to do other than homework during school . I just achieved my !st Degree Brown Belt on Wednsday 14, 2002. .
shaolinprincess Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 I am currently a 5th kyu. Promotion will be the 29th for me. I will be on the 4th belt from shodan. I do it cause I love it. It is something different from day to day life. I am in an Okinawan style, originated from the old Shuri-te style.I am now a 4th kyu, third stipe on my green belt. Then I have three brown belts, then a black belt It's what you put into it...1st kyu-Okinawa Shorin Ryu Matsumura Seito Federation
DeeLovesKarate Posted August 18, 2002 Posted August 18, 2002 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.
