Ranking

In our school there are 5 ranks below black belt. These ranks are called Kyu ranks and count backwards. The first grading is for 5th Kyu and each new promotion brings the student closer to 1st Kyu. Kyu ranks are not distinguished by colour belts. After 1st Kyu, the practitioner moves on to Shodan (1st degree black belt) and on through the Dan ranks. As a general rule, it takes approximately 2 years to reach the rank of black belt.

Kyu Grading tests will be conducted by Dojo-Cho, Dan Grading tests will conducted by the Aikikai Hombu, Japan. Eligibility for testing depends primarily upon accumulation of practice hours.

It is important to keep in mind that rank promotion does not necessarily translate into ability. The most important accomplishments in aikido or any other martial art are not external assessments of progress, but rather the benefits of your training to yourself.

Grading Examinations

Kyu-grade tests will be administered on the first Sunday of every month. Candidates who want to appear for grading examination should contact the instructor.
