True Data Concerning Black Belt Rankings In The Various Martial Arts

Black Belt rankings were begun by Judo Master Jigoro Kano. Master Kano is supposed to have based his system on rankings used by swimming clubs. Karate clubs in Japanese Universities borrowed this ranking system.

The original karate system is rumored to have had two belts, white belt and black belt. As classes grew larger two more belts were used, green belt and brown belt. Eventually Chinese American Kenpo was developed by Ed Parker, and the number of colored belts expanded greatly.

Belts of color were setup in the following order: white, orange, purple, blue, green, three stages of brown, multiple stages of black. As the belt ranking systems expanded, rumors concerning the significance of the colors grew. Each system seemed to put forth a different meaning for the belt colors.

White and black, in the beginning, didn't have much significance, as there were so few students and the promotions were pretty easily understood. White meant beginner, and black belt meant the student had the status of an assistant instructor. As the belt systems grew ever larger this concept quickly gave way to instructor rankings.

White, green, brown and black were rumored to relate to the spring, summer, fall and winter of a student's martial arts life. This also correlated to beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert status. This concept, while valid, gave way when more colors were introduced.

The full range of colors utilized by Chinese Kenpo Systems was related to a full spectrum of knowledge. Rightly or wrongly, a Kenpo student was assumed, when he was promoted to black belt, to know everything in the spectrum. This concept began to fail when red belts were utilized.

At first, red belts were used to honor high ranking masters, these were sometimes politically motivated belts, though there were some legitimate rankings. Then, because people tend to promote themselves to the highest rank possible, the red belt replaced the black belt in many peoples estimation, and the spectral system broke apart. This was aided by the fact that some systems, especially taekwondo systems, began replacing the brown belt with the red belt.

In current times, while colored belts are said to be motivational in student lessons, the fact of the matter is that there has been some abuse. Many commercial martial arts schools have lengthened training time to align with the increased rankings to keep people at their schools for longer periods of time, and this has extended the length of time it takes to learn the martial arts. It is hoped that understanding the basic facts of Black Belt rankings, as described in this article, will help potential students when they analyze possible arts to study.

How does someone become a 10th Degree Red Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

I mean how does someone move up from lets say a 7th degree Red Belt to a 8th Degree? is it a test who makes the test why does he get to make the test? I know it practice but in detail

Only the grand master can be a 10th degree.

To get a 7th or 8th degree you will need to have a sensei that has reached that level. The only people I can think of off the top of my head are the Gracie's. The martial art has been passed through their family generation to generation.

It is not a test that determines whether or not you can have a 7th degree. If that were so they people would only study that material. It is your sensei who determines whether or not you are applicable to have that degree
