A beginner starts as a white belt, and works towards earning a black belt. In e, there are ten levels of colored belts before black, which are called kyu ranks. Kyu ranks count backwards from , 1, so you begin as a white belt at tenth kyu, and each new promotion brings you closer to first kyu. At 1st kyu, you may then test for black belt. 12 and 11 Kyu are given for children under 6 years old. Every colored belt has a conditional white stripe for those who are not ready yet for solid color belt. If student practice karate at least twice a week and fulfill the general test requirements, a minimum maturity level and demonstrate leadership skills should be able to get a black belt within 6-8 years, if over 14 years old. Students under 14 years old cannot be promoted to black belt. Students ages may be promoted to Junior black belt /white stripe-shodan Shodan and they are required to re re-test their black belt at age 18. After ter that, you become a black belt holder first dan, second dan, and so on. In most karate organizations, ranks beyond 5th dan are political posts, and promotion to those ranks is based on your contribution to the karate organization and management of your own school and region, as well as advanced karate research. There are also ten grades of black belt in Shotokan. These count upwards, and are called dan ranks. So, after reaching 1st kyu and being promoted to black belt, you start as a first degree black belt - a first dan, also called shodan. Perhaps the most useful aspect of rank is its potential to serve as a goal setting system, depending on how you manage your progress. Learning new techniques and new body dynamics is best done in the small increments served up by a reasonable ranking system. stem. With a standardized syllabus, you can more easily set yourself a goal of improving just what you will need to achieve the next rank. The "discrete" skill levels defined by rank can also serve as guidelines for instructors. Rather than correcting you on every mistake you make, or correcting you inconsistently, your instructor can consistently critique you in a focused fashion according to what he/she needs to see during a test. Earning a new color belt means passing a kyu examination. At a rank exam you typically stand with other students testing for the same rank before a Chief Instructor or a board of examiners, and perform various techniques required for the new rank. After the test, the panel of instructors issues you a pass/fail grade. grad As you progress in rank, the requisite techniques become more numerous and complex, and you must also demonstrate a deeper understanding of the dynamics involved. A kyu test is broken down into the four areas of training; kihon, kata, kumite and Budo Philosophy, ilosophy, each of which you are tested on (more information on www. eus.com). The e US administers its own kyu exam at the end of every semester, which is optional and open to any club members. Murat Bajrami, Chief Instructor 6
