What's the ranking system there?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Dec 23 '10, 08:24

ours was white, yellow, green / blue, brown, black.

the level at green was when you started to get into the advanced classes or be big fish in the beginners classes.

You could have a black belt around 40 months if you attended classes regularly and passed tests.

- this was the system in my school as well (don't remember Bo Dahn, that might have been a brown or blue.) -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 08:32
- What color is Bo Dahn? -- nm - Jovian Dec 23, 08:31 2
  - It's half red, half black. So he goes from Red with a black stripe down the middle to the red/black and then black. -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 08:34 1
    - It's essentially a Black Belt Candidate belt. And it's bodan...my spelling and stuff sucks. -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 08:36
- Yeah, we had the stripes if you had reached the in betweens during a test - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:30
- cool, then Red is significant, because I remember the jump from Blue to Brown seemed significant. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:29 6
  - It's kinda scary, it's been 16 years since I took classes and I'm pretty sure I could recall majority of the forms - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:31 4
    - I thought about going back, but I did a roundhouse with my bad leg - grony Dec 23, 08:32 3
      - I stopped at green Stripe. I was ready to test for green...but at $50/test, I'd rather see the boys keep testing. - Jim Dec 23, 08:42 2
        
        I got to a month short of black belt and woulda passed the test....but had an issue with the instructor. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:44 1
        
        which way does your melon lean? nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:50
  - Yeah. He's at the point where the training gets harder and the testing is WAY more intense. - Jim Dec 23, 08:31
this. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:25
