Promotions

The ranking system at Wright's karate is as follows:


White beltHachi-kyu
Yellow beltShichi-kyu
Orange beltRoko-kyu
Green beltGo-kyu
Purple beltYon-kyu
Third Brown beltSan-kyu
Second Brown beltNi-kyu
First Brown beltIk-kyu
First Degree Black beltSho-dan


There is no set schedule for promotions; it all depends on attendance, attitude, and hard work. The requirements for each promotion are displayed on the wall of the dojo, so each student (and his/her parents) knows what is expected of him/her from day one to year four and beyond.
