Brown Belt? Does your dojo have belts?

**WaydayFep** · 11-29-2005, 08:00 AM

Haha, and then you should consider that this thread is 2 years old, so add 2 years to every age stated in the posts (the Age: XX next to their names is their age of this moment, calculated from birthdate).

**VoriEremiagem** · 12-07-2005, 08:00 AM

My cousin Mark (The young guy who won the Lidstone), he is only 14 (Shodan), he takes it very seriously. I suppose that it does help with him being very good. I not looking forward to the day when he starts to kick my Ass I thought the minimum age for shodan was 16... well, that's for canada.

??!??

Sorry just having a bit of fun with these babies. I'm a very young kendoka too (relatively speaking.)

**QwOpHGyZ** · 12-21-2005, 08:00 AM

NO JOKE!!!!

**SmuffNuSMaxqh** · 12-29-2005, 08:00 AM

ohhh nice~ how long have you been practicing?

**irrascaft** · 12-30-2005, 08:00 AM

"Brown Belt? Does your dojo have belts?"

Yes, we use belts at our dojang, which each correspond to a different kyu. Here are the belts that we use and their corresponding ranks, just in case you're interested:

White - 9 Kyu
Yellow - 8 Kyu
Green - 7 Kyu
Purple - 6 Kyu
Blue - 5 Kyu
Brown - 4 Kyu
Red - 3-1 Kyu

Then after that it's dans.

**Joesred** · 01-02-2006, 08:00 AM

oh yeah i forgot to mention my rank
i just got my shodan on sunday

**WeightWatchyshow** · 01-11-2006, 08:00 AM

I'm younger than 20 mentally. Does that count?

**CindyLavender** · 02-14-2006, 08:00 AM

Im 19 on June, wanting to grade at the Stoke seminar/grading on July for Ikkyu

**MightyMasd** · 03-05-2006, 08:00 AM

2 years + like sept - dec

**kentbrookug** · 03-05-2006, 08:00 AM

I'm 22 and I started kendo just under a year and a half ago. I'm not sure I could have progressed as well if I was younger. And I think Mingshi was just saying that most young kenshi don't take it seriously.

**irrawnWab** · 03-18-2006, 08:00 AM

obviously

someone posted, so i replied

**EsAllCams** · 03-20-2006, 08:00 AM

**Suentiend** · 03-21-2006, 08:00 AM

i'm 18

**12Dvop4I** · 04-09-2006, 08:00 AM

I was just wondering how many of this board were under 20? It is pretty hard to find young kendoka in North America... So I find it nice to play other younger kendoka... (not to be offensive to all the older members of this board :P)

**Brutton** · 04-24-2006, 08:00 AM

oups! sorry it's 14 for shodan and 16 for nidan... I checked the wrong column
