CEINTURES & PASSAGES DE GRADE

images.jpg

LES KYU : AU CLUB

La majorité des arts martiaux ont un système de grades qui permet à l’élève de situer son niveau et de baliser sa progression. Jusqu’au 1er kyu (ceinture marron), c’est le professeur ayant la délégation de pouvoir de la FFKDA qui organise les évaluations et délivre le grade. A ces grades (kyu) sont associés des couleurs de ceintures. Selon les clubs, le système de graduation et de couleur peut être différent du 9e kyu au 1er kyu ou du 6e kyu au 1er kyu, le 1er kyu étant le grade le plus élevé avant la ceinture noire.

  • Do I have to register my hands when I become a black belt?
    No, that is an urban myth. Martial Artists are not required to register their hands.
  • Do I have to be in good shape before I start?
    No, you will get into shape as you train. We have a series of exercises that you will learn as you progress through the ranking system which will enable you to perform the self defense techniques.
  • I am 31 years old, am I too old to start martial arts?"
    No, you are not too old to begin martial arts training. Kenpo regularly has students start from adolecense through their 50's and older. Kenpo is a practical and effective martial art that does not incorporate gymnastics.
  • What is the difference between Tae Kwon Do and Kenpo?
    Tae Kwon Do is a Korean Martial Art that focuses primarily on kicking techniques. Some Tae Kwon Do schools also teach Olympic style fighting. Kenpo is a practical self defense system which trains the student for modern day self defense encounters. Kenpo students are taught to use their hands and feet with multiple strikes to multiple targets on each attacker, in a multiple attack situation.
  • I am very busy with my work schedule, how much time do I need to devote to kenpo classes?"
    The two 1 hour classes are week are recommended, as is practicing at home. As you progress through the ranks if you want more 1:1 attention we offer 30 minute private lessons which can further help hone your skills.
  • How long does it take to get a black belt?
    In Kenpo Karate, it takes approximately 5 years to reach student black belt.
  • What sort of things should I consider when choosing a school?
    My instructor Master Professor Bill Grossman has a great write up about choosing a martial arts school on his website here: http://grossmanskenpo.com/choose_school.php
Ceinture noire de karaté

LES DAN : A LA FFKDA

Si les kyu sont délivrés par les professeurs, les grades de ceinture noire à partir du 1er dan sont délivrés par la CSDGE (Commission Spécialisée des Dan et Grades Equivalents). Les tests d’évaluation sont organisés par chaque Comité départemental (CODG) de la FFKDA du 1er au 4e dan selon le nombre de licenciés dans le département. Le 94 a compétence pour les organiser. Les commissions des zones-interdépartementales des grades (COZIG) organisent les passages de 3 e et 4 e dan. Les Commissions Régionales des Grades (CORG) organisent le 5e dan, et la CSDGE le 6e dan.
