5 KYU - YELLOW BELT - GREEN STRIPE


WARNING: THIS PAGE COULD BE UPDATED AT ANY TIME, SO YOU SHOULD REVIEW  IT OFTEN

Here you will find all the information you need to prepare you for your grading. This information includes your theory and your practical test. I hope this information helps you in giving you a better understanding about Kyokushin Karate and also gives you a better understanding of your requirements and at the same time helps you to study and prepare for it. 

MEANING OF THE BELTS

Below you will find a possible interpretation of the symbolism of the belt colors. I hope this will give a further understanding the sense in which the Obi (belts) colors mean. Belts colors are not only to reflect growth in technique, but also in character.

The Yellow Belt-Green Stripe (Firmness)
At this level the students are living the Yellow belts and preparing for the new level. So they should use this level to perfect what is required  from them on the Yellow belt level. So the same meaning of the Yellow Belts is valid on this level.
At Yellow belt the students should learn to focus his power by the use of the "Hara" (Lower abdomen) and the "Tanden" (Point where all the energy is concentrated, the center of gravity in our body) which is located just behind of the not of the belt.
The students should concentrate in control the different techniques and put emphasis on power and speed, as well as coordination.
