MSOI Rank Requirements
ADULT CLASS RANKS
Rank promotions are held by sensei and occasionally by a board of black belts. Karate has two grades which are called "Dan" and "Kyu" grades. The Dan grades refer to 1st degree black belt (Sho Dan) and above while Kyu grades refer to the colored belts below Blackbelt. The Dan grades rise upwards from 1st to indicate the higher skill, but kyu grades go in reverse; thus 1st kyu immediately precedes 1st Dan. All testing students should wear clean, pressed white gis (uniforms) and follow proper karate etiquette.
