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

[@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

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.

[@loculocu-cr9xu]

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

[@ninjasolarteam]

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

Thanks for sharing.

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

[@rokcetboy4245]

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

[@ninjasolarteam]

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

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

I thought you were gonna do the styles of Taekwondo

[@PlainlyPutHQ]

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

[@normanfranklin4784]

[@PlainlyPutHQ]
