Ranking
Ranking System
There are 10 ranks before black belt (the white belt levels count as one rank). The system contains 5 belts; white, yellow, green, brown, and black. Two stripes are awarded between each colored belt rank until black belt. Belts are classified using the Japanese numbering system, 10 (jyu) being the lowest rank and 1 (ichi) being the highest rank.
Ranks are awarded by knowledge of the material, min. time in rank, number of classes, and the students age.
Students will learn a new kata for each belt color:
White: Sanchin
Yellow: Kanshiwa
Green: Kanshu
Brown: Seichin
Black: Seisan
Sanchin is the first kata, and core kata of Uechi Ryu. Students begin learning Sanchin at the white belt level, and is required for their black belt test.
