GRADATION SYSTEM

At World Kanreikai Karate, each stage of training is designed to gradually improve the student’s physical performance as well as his concentration and self-confidence.

Introduction to karate

At first, new students wear a white belt. This belt illustrates their desire to learn and improve through karate. At this stage, each student's main concern is to establish a regular training schedule and comply with rules of conduct at the dojo. He  or she will then learn the basics of karate gradually, day by day.

Progression

Progress is measured by a gradation system based on the belt’s color. Each grade must be reached through hard work and discipline. The Sensei (teacher) knows when a student is ready to advance in rank. It is important to emphasize that a new belt does not solely reflects progress in terms of physical achievement, it also means that the student has an increased responsibility to improve and set an example for other students.

In our organization we use the following tip and belt color gradation system.
