 Kyokushin Programs Grading IKBO International

Colored belts have their origin in Judo, as does the training 'gi', or more correctly in Japanese, 'dōgi' or 'Keikogi'. In Kyokushin the order of the belts varies in some breakaway groups, but according to the Honbu of Oyama, the kyu ranks and belt colors are as described below.

 
Each colored belt had two levels, the second being represented by a stripe at the ends of the belt. The white belt however, does not represent any level and is only meant to hold the 'gi' in place. As such, the white belt is used by practitioners who are not yet graded. The belt system under Mas Oyama followed this order since the 1960s with the exception of the yellow (red) belt, which was incorporated only in the last year of his life, replacing the earlier used white belt with one and two red stripes for the same kyu grades.

 
 
Mukyu of the white belt literally means "no grade"

 
While some groups also use red belts for high dan grades, Sosai Masutatsu Oyama did not follow this practice in his dojo or organization, always wearing a wholly black belt for himself.

 
        There are many ideas of how the belt colors in the martial arts came to be, some more romantic than others. One quaint tale says that students of a karate school would be given a white belt. The students' belts would gradually become stained darker from use and eventually a person who was of a high standard and who had trained for a long time would then have a black/brown/dirt colored belt. This is an inspiring way to encourage students to train harder, and might have its basis in truth since martial arts practitioners as a general rule don't wash their belts after training. 

 
        Kyokushin karate has a belt grading system similar to other martial arts. The requirements of each level vary from country to country, some far stricter and more demanding than others. For example, in some countries in Europe, the grading for each level requires the student to complete the entire requirements for each level up to the rank being tested. So the student attempting first degree black belt will do all the Orange belt requirements, THEN all the blue belt requirements (including repeating the orange belt requirements) and so on. The free fighting (kumite) requirements for first degree black belt also ranges from ten rounds to forty rounds, depending on the region, usually at a very high level of contact and with no protective gear other than a groin guard and mouth guard. It is not so much the number of fights but the intensity of the effort that defines the grading. Some areas don't even have formal gradings per se, instead presenting the student with their new rank in training after the instructor feels that he/she has reached that level and is capable of all the requirements.

 
      The belt assigned to each student upon commencing training is a white belt. With each successful grading attempt the student is awarded a kyu ranking, and either a stripe on his current belt or a new belt colour altogether. Grading, or promotion tests, include calisthenic and aerobic training, kihon (basics), ido geiko (moving basics), goshinjitsu (self defence), sanbon and ippon kumite (three and one step sparring), kata (prescribed series of movements/forms, sometimes described as a form of moving meditation), tameshiwari (board, tile or brick breaking) and kumite (contact free fighting). Achieving a 1st dan black belt, or shodan, can take anywhere from four but often six to ten years of training. A belt may be awarded only by a teacher after a grading, some lower grades, e.g., yellow stripe or yellow, can be assessed in a local dojo by an instructor, after 2 or 3 grades, you will have to wait until a "grading" usually only performed approximately 4 times a year or at martial arts camps where there are shodan and above gradings, and 50 man kumite also are performed on rare occasions. At the highest ranks (6th dan and above) tests are performed by international committee, or, as is more common in the post-Mas Oyama era, presented honorarily. Nobody can achieve a 10th degree black belt for this was a special honor created only for the Sosai (Oyama).

 
          Each belt has a different number of fights required for the rank sparring for grading starts at white belt. Of all aspects, it is the strong and spirited contact kumite that most defines the Kyokushin style, and it is this aspect that has always brought the style the most respect. The one thing that usually defined the Kyokushin black belt was the spirit, strength and courage of the kumite.

 
          The number of rounds required may increase or decrease after Shodan, again depending on the region. 40 rounds of hard contact sparring is required as part of a grading or as part of a special training requirement, is no easy feat and involves non-stop fighting of one and a half hours or more. It is a test of fortitude as well as skill.

Les grades japonais

En 1902, la Dai Nippon Butokukai (association des vertus martiales du grand Japon), mit au point un système de reconnaissance se basant sur l'ancien système de Menkyo (Men de Manuka: être libéré et Kyo: autorisé. Traduit par certificat de transmission). Ce système composé de 3 titres de maîtrise et d'une équivalence de Dan se retrouve encore de nos jours : Seirensho qui deviendra Renshi à partir de 1928 (5-6ème Dan). Kyoshi qui a été appelé pendant quelques temps Tashi (7-8ème Dan) et Hanshi (9-10ème Dan).

L'ancien système japonais de graduation Menkyo date environ du 16ème siècle. Il était composé de plus ou moins 5 certificats comme Menkyo Shoden (enseignement préliminaire), Menkyo Okuden (entraînement secrets), Menkyo-Kaiden (titre suprême). Ce dernier titre mettait le disciple au niveau du maître et signifiait qu'il avait tout reçu de lui.
Cet ancien système est encore utilisé au Japon dans quelques écoles traditionnelles. Le Menkyo se présente encore parfois sous la forme de rouleau calligraphié où apparaissent différentes informations propre à celui qui le reçoit comme son nom, son niveau, les techniques apprises, la durée de la formation, date, lieu, etc...
Le Menkyo, véritable gage de confiance et de moralité, exprimait le degré de considération que donnait le maître au disciple en lui permettant d'être initié jusqu'aux secrets de l'école.
Dans les écoles traditionnelles la notion de hiérarchie prend toute son importance et les règles sont assez bien définies. Les pratiquants de niveau inférieur doivent assister les pratiquants de niveau supérieur et ceux-ci doivent aider les premiers à progresser.

Mukyu : Ce sont les « sans grade », les néophytes.

Kyu : ou Mudansha. Ce sont les grades inférieurs. Le nombre de Kyu varient d'une discipline à l'autre. Cependant pour les arts martiaux ils sont généralement au nombre de six. Le 1er Kyu correspond très souvent à la ceinture marron et dans tous les cas au niveau juste en dessous de la ceinture noire 1er Dan.

Kodansha : Pratiquant d'arts martiaux confirmé correspondant aux grades de ceinture noire 5ème et 6ème Dan. Il a acquis un vécu et une expérience qui le différencie grandement des niveaux inférieurs. C'est le grade de la connaissance qui le place au titre de Renshi.

Mudansha : Dans le système de progression classique des arts martiaux, désigne un pratiquant débutant, c'est à dire sans grade reconnu (ceinture noire). Il est porteur des 1er Kyu sur une voie l'amenant aux grades supérieurs..

Yudansha : Désigne les porteurs des premiers grades de la ceinture noire (du 1er au 4ème Dan) suivant la progression technique et mentale d'un pratiquant d'arts martiaux dans une classification qui va du débutant (Mudansha) à la reconnaissance de la maîtrise.

1er Dan (Shodan) : étudiant
2ème Dan (Nidan) : disciple
3ème Dan (Sandan) : confirmé
4ème Dan (Yondan) : expert

Les Titres et Distinctions

Dans les arts martiaux, la valeur d'un titre est toute relative comme l'est aujourd'hui celle de la légion d'honneur. A force de donner « à tout va » cette distinction je me demande à quoi elle va ressembler dans 20 ans. Certainement un gadget à suspendre au rétroviseur de sa voiture...

Un titre ne doit pas être seulement un objet ostentatoire dédié au surdimensionnement de l'égo. C'est une lourde responsabilité de tous les jours. Le mérite d'un jour doit se poursuivre et se poursuivre encore et s'améliorer avec humilité.

Dai-Shihan : Grand professeur ou grand maître. Autre appellation de « O Sensei »

Do-shi : « Gardien de la Voie » d'une école (Ryu) ; c'était, en général, le patriarche retiré ou un fils de ce dernier.

Hanshi : Celui qui donne (maîtrise extérieure et intérieure unifiées).Correspond au 9ème Dan minimum.
Ce dernier titre est le plus élevé : c'est le fameux Shihan. Celui qui a tout reçu et qui, à son tour peut donner. Il possède un caractère et une moralité exceptionnels. Il a une excellente compréhension des techniques, de l'histoire et de l'esprit du BUDO.


Iko-kokoro : C'est un titre de maîtrise que l'on peut obtenir à partir de 7ème Dan.

7ème Dan (Shichidan) : Kyoshi
8ème Dan (Hachidan) : Kyoshi
9ème Dan (Kudan) : Hanshi
10ème Dan (Judan) : Hanshi

Kaicho : Désigne l'autorité suprême d'une association lorsque celle-ci dépasse le simple cadre d'un Dojo unique.

Kancho : Maître de la maison, titre lié au Bouddhisme Zen et attribué à l'abbé du monastère. C'est également l'autorité suprême du style dans certaines écoles d'arts martiaux. Correspond au titre de Shihan ou de Soke.

Kenshi : Maître réputé dans l'art du combat au sabre (Ken-Jutsu) qui avait acquis son efficacité sur les champs de batailles et au cours de combats singuliers avec d'autres experts d'école rivale comme Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645) par exemple.

Kyoshi : Il possède la maîtrise intérieure. Correspond aux 7ème et 8ème Dan et quelque fois 6ème Dan. Il a une connaissance approfondie des techniques et de la tradition des arts martiaux.

Meijin : « grand maître » qui a reçu le Menkyo-Kaiden.

O Sensei : Grand professeur ou grand maître (Dai-Shihan). Ce terme employé seul désigne le fondateur de l'Aïkido: Morihei Ushiba (1883-1969).

Renshi : De « Ren », personne qui a été forgé. Titre donné à un expert d'art martial traditionnel japonais (Budo) possédant le 5ème ou 6ème Dan. Il a acquis la maîtrise technique de son style. Il a les qualifications requises pour enseigner la technique.

RyuSha : Etudiant dans une école d'arts martiaux et disciple d'un maître.

Sensei : C'est le professeur. Il désigne de manière générale l'enseignant et a également le sens de « celui qui est né avant ». On doit le respect au Sensei, qui par son expérience et sa volonté pédagogique, amène l'élève à progresser à travers son enseignement. C'est une référence au Dojo.

Shidoshi-Ho : Instructeur débutant en Nin-jutsu porteur du 1er au 4ème Dan.

Shihan : Maître instructeur. Ce titre est apparu au début du XXème siècle pour marquer une progression dans les Budo dits modernes. Correspond au titre de Hanshi.

Soke : C'est le fondateur d'une école ou d'un style d'art martial. Mais ce terme désigne également son (seul) successeur direct. Le Soke est généralement considéré comme l'autorité ultime dans son art et est le seul à pouvoir délivrer un certificat Menkyo-Kaiden indiquant que quelqu'un a maîtrisé tous les aspects de son style.

Tasshi : Expert enseignant.

Tenshi : L'empereur du Japon, Maître céleste.

Waka Sensei : Jeune professeur. Titre donné au fils du Maître et futur héritier.
 
Terminologie
Les définitions sont tirées d'après l'Encyclopédie des Arts Martiaux de Roland Habersetzer.

Deshi : Disciple interne ou externe d'une école d'Art Martial authentique ou est enseigné une véritable voie.

Judo : Littéralement voie (DO) de la souplesse (JU), est un sport de combat et un art martial créé par Jigoro Kano (1860-1938) en 1882 et initialement enseigné au Kodokan. Inspiré du Ju-Jitsu, il se compose pour l'essentiel de techniques de projection, de contrôle au sol, d'étranglements et de clefs.
Jigoro Kano en aurait modifié les techniques de combat à mains nues pour créer une discipline fondée sur l'équilibre du corps et de l'esprit. En France nous devons son existence, depuis 1935, grâce à maître Mikinosuke Kawaishi (1899-1969).

Kendo : « Voie du sabre » ou art de combattre avec le sabre (Ken). C'est une évolution moins guerrière du Ken-Jutsu qui apparut à partir de 1900.

Kohai : Jeune élève par opposition à l'ancien (Sempai) dans les écoles d'arts martiaux traditionnels. Pour progresser, il doit franchir les premiers niveaux de grade. Il doit respect et humilité envers les anciens et effectuer certaines tâches dévolues aux débutants telles que rangements, nettoyage des locaux,...

Menkyo : Menkyo : « Men » de Manuka: être libéré et « Kyo »: autorisé. Traduit par certificat de transmission. C'est l'ancien système japonais datant du 16ème siècle, composé de 5 certificats écrits, qui est encore utilisé aujourd'hui au Japon dans quelques écoles traditionnelles. Le Menkyo est donné par un maître d'Art Martial à un disciple lorsque celui-ci a atteint un niveau de compréhension le rendant capable de transmettre l'école à travers son propre enseignement.

2) Menkyo-Chuden : transmission de l'enseignement de second degré
3) Menkyo-Joden : transmission de l'enseignement de niveau haut
4) Menkyo-Okuden : transmission de l'enseignement secret
5) Menkyo-Kaiden : titre suprême. Ce dernier titre mettait le disciple au niveau du maître et signifiait qu'il avait tout reçu de lui.

Menkyo-kaiden : Le plus haut niveau dans l'autorisation d'enseigner la technique et l'esprit d'un art martial traditionnel remise par le maître d'une école à son disciple (souvent Uchi-Deshi). Il met celui-ci au niveau du maître et signifie qu'il a tout reçu de lui.

Sempai : C'est l'ancien gradé d'un Dojo. Il a parfois la responsabilité du cours dispensé. Le débutant (Kohai) lui doit respect, obéissance et considération. Si le jeune doit le respect à l'ancien, celui-ci est responsable du comportement du premier.

 

Unfortunately for the Kyokushin, Sosai Oyama is dead and his spirit went with him, it is through the work and sweat that hope derisoir to keep immortal may then arise... OSU!
