5 Chapter 1 The IKD Karate-do Rank System The IKD system of ranks consists of two levels: dan and kyu. Each level is made up of 10 ranks. Beginners who commit to the study of karate-do are considered 10th kyu after their first class. It takes 2 1/2 to three years of training and meeting the requirements of each kyu exam to attain the rank of first dan (shodan). To attain higher dan ranks takes a lifetime of study and training. Age and experience are factors taken into consideration when higher dan ranks are awarded. The ninth and 10th dan ranks are usually reserved for the vice chief instructor and the chief instructor of an international organization. They must be at least 60 and 70 years old respectively. Today, the common practice in karate is for students at the kyu level to wear coloured belts. In the early days, only white and brown were worn. At the dan level, black is the only colour worn for all levels. The rank system is a method of evaluating an individual s level of development along the Way of perfecting character. The evaluation is based not only on physical ability, but also on the individual s moral and spiritual development as defined in the Dojo Kun. For instructional purposes, ranks are a practical way of identifying both the level of experience and level of technical development of the individual student. Since ranks within the IKD are standardized, the technical standard is consistent across the organization. The Sensei can assess a student s progress, based to the individual s length of training and the prescribed requirements of rank. For the student, the goal of reaching the next rank serves as a motivational tool Kyu ranks are arranged in descending order: 10th kyu being the lowest and first kyu, the rank below black belt, the highest. The kyu ranks are further divided into regular full ranks and B, or conditional ranks. Since there is no exam for 10th kyu, 9B is the lowest of the earned ranks. A B rank signifies that the karate-ka is lacking in some area of their techniques, and more work is needed to bring it up to standard. In essence, IKD ranks serve as an indicator of the karate-ka s level of development. Ranks also serve as a motivational tool. They motivate students to strive for the next level in their development. Ranks, however, should not be seen as course credits to be obtained in order to graduate. Rather, they are merely markers in the continuous process of refining of one s character through the study of karate-do. In that process, the kyu ranks can be seen as the period during which the karate-ka constructs a stairway. Once completed, the karate-ka is ready to climb up the steps. Shodan is only the first step. Karate is a lifetime endeavour. The true student takes on the challenge of climbing the full flight of stairs. 5
