Kids Karate Midtown West: Karate City Parent’s Insights
Kids Karate Midtown West : The belt represents the level of skill and, most importantly growth that a person currently possesses in karate. How the belt colors and ranks work in Karate City is not based on the conventional WKF (World Karate Federation) system.
There are 9 student levels in karate and the belt color progression is as follows:
- White
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Red
- Black
Once your child has achieved a black belt there are 10 master levels to complete.
What does my child have to do in a karate belt test?
In order to move on to the next belt color, your child will need to complete a belt test. These tests show that they have achieved the desired skill level and knowledge to move up the karate ranks. Karate City uses the sport karate technique of testing. The exact requirements for each belt test will be on ongoing discussion and practice during training.
The sport technique of testing is, we believe, the method of the future. It will help to promote success in karate and therefore increase the popularity of the sport. We use this technique as it tests the developmental aspect of the skills, therefore focussing on the individual.
