Karate BELT Ranking System Explained In 8 Minutes

[@PlainlyPutHQ]

Have you ever experienced a belt test in your choice of martial art? What was it like?

[@branip9414]

Can you make a video about Muay Boran styles, and Wushu styles???

In my Dojo my Sensei used a trick to test. Knowing I was so nervous at taking the test. He had me do a practice test which lessened the pressure I felt, however if I passed the practice test he went to the back and returning carrying a belt which he then presented to me, by letting the practice test stand for the actual test allowed me to feel more relaxed.

That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.

That’s good ! I hope it’s not too hard for me

[@hermanehrentraut4956]

@@callmesupreme1533 I think an often overlooked point is your Sensei/Instructor if good is never going to ask a student to do what they know the student is not capable of doing. Also when it comes to tests most teachers are not looking for perfection despite students try to deliver perfect executions, having this understanding also helped me in practicing/testing. Combining these two points a good Instructor will let you know when you are ready to test it will not be you saying Sensei I want to test and he will just let you. One other thing in my 16 years of martial arts I have noticed there are three types of students 1. the students that only train during class. 2. the students that not only train during class but even before class. 3. the students that train during class, as well as before class but also outside of class. Training outside the school can be done in the home with limits, for example if practicing throwing if you live in apartment throwing a person would disrupt you neighbors, but you can "shadow box techniques" and it bothers no one, or you can create your own uke such as taking coveralls sealing the feet and hands and stuffing the outfit with a light material such as towels, bed sheets, shirts. You can even put a gi and belt on it to practice techniques.

I literally got this recommended after my son said "i got double promotion in karate ,white to orange!"

[@1dbos]

In both styles I've trained there's been 2 grade splits between white and yellow. Mainly to keep students motivated in their first year and a half training. Similarly brown is split into 2/3 grades to keep progressing in the 2/3 years between brown and black

[@MToumi-chadili]

Thank you very much for the well done job. Cheers !

[@AuraKnight8]

A lot of Eastern Martial Arts *usually* have belts. The key word is Usually because it depends on the Dojo and what type of martial art. Like some BJJ Dojos use Belts The purpose of belts varies ⤵️ Weight class, counting Wins, counting years & Etc.

[@FrenzyWolf]

Red belts are usually used in Tournaments, yet in Dojos, theyre only worn by high ranking Masters above the 5th Dan.

[@ralfhtg1056]

With the plethora of different belt systems used in various Ryu-ha of Karate, I wish there was ONE SINGLE UNITED belt system. The multiple different systems are just CONFUSING. E.g. From my point of view I'd never agree with the depicted belt system shown at 0:34. Red is, as far as I know, exclusively used for 9th and 10th Dan or as a tournament belt. The system where 9th and 10th Dan are red uses white-red aka coral belt for 7th and 8th Dan and black for 1st to 6th Dan. The organisation where I am "at home" uses black for 1st to 10th Dan. The coloured belts are as follows: White = no grade Yellow = 9th Kyu on trial Yellow-black = full 9th Kyu Orange = 8th Kyu on trial orange-black = full 8th Kyu blue = 7th Kuy on trial blue-black = 7th Kyu green-white = 6th Kyu green = 5th Kyu green-black = 4th Kyu brown-white = 3rd Kyu brown = 2nd Kyu brown-black = 1st Kyu

I study and teach shotokan, actually the exact order and belts you have clipped at 2:04.

[@loculocu-cr9xu]

That's great, is it the same system for those who practice taekwondo?

[@ghislainabete3209]

Nope

[@artisticsolarninja]

In korean martial arts Red belt was a kyu rank but in kenpo, judo and okinawan karate(uechi, goju, chito and shorin ryu) red belt was a grand master belt

[@PlainlyPutHQ]

Thanks for sharing.

[@artisticsolarninja]

Orange was supposed to be red but change it to avoid confusion Kyokushin wanted red belt to inspired korean martial arts but decided to change to orange instead

[@PartyCrewCoolPAD]

I had wanted to enter into the Mexican belt color rank. Now young kids, younger kids & yep, just 3 year old kids talk about how they meet the black belt rank already for advancements 😮 I said what I said

[@rokcetboy4245]

Nice

[@PlainlyPutHQ]

Thanks

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

[@PlainlyPutHQ]

I will take a look into it. Are there enough styles to put together a video?

[@normanfranklin4784]
