Grading in Dojo Entheos Kyokushin-Karate

    There are some difference in grades within Kyokushin schools depending on which organization they are associated with. However they all have some basis common ground and all of them divide their ranks on kyu for the beginners and dan for the advance students. Each kyu have an specific color belt( which could be different from one school to other) and each dan have an specific number of gold stripe with their name in Japanese script embroidered in one of the end of the belt. The kyu and dan system is much more accurate to represent the grade of the students. The color system sometimes differ from one school to another, some of them start with yellow belt others with red belt or white belt or orange belt, which sometimes become very confuse, however if you know their kyu you may have a better appreciation on what level of understanding of kyokushin the student is at that level. Below you will found a table which show the color belts that we use  in our school for the different kyu (which could be different from others schools). I also include the black belt grades as a reference.
