Re: Whats the difference?
Kyu are the ranks below black belt. Dan are the ranks above. Some dojo use colored belts to designate kyu grades, others do not.

Re: Whats the difference?
Generally, yes. I have seen both one-to-one and more-than-one-kyu to a color.

Re: Whats the difference?
There is no universal standard. In my dojo it's rather simple. All kyu map to white, all dan to black.
Best,

Re: Whats the difference?
Hi Daniel,
I noticed that in our dojo children wear coloured belts, for adults with a rand below black belt, kyu ranks are used. The colours of the belts for kyu ranks are white, blue, white/blue combinations (like white with blue stripe in the center or visa versa), brown, brown/black with combinations. For black belts dan is used.
Greg, if I'm correct your dojo is also associated with Tekamusu organization. Do you use the same system?
Regards,
Suren.

Re: Whats the difference?
We're a member of the Takemusu Aikido Association. http://www.takemusu.org/ . Our dojo doesn't have children's classes, so no issue there. The TAA wouldn't dictate such, anyway.
So, we have 6 kyu grades that all map to a white belt.
Best regards, |
