The Mon grades to Kyu grades
We believe in recognising and honouring the progress and dedication of
our junior students as they transition from Mon grades to Kyu grades.
Unlike traditional practices that replace their well-earned Brown Mon
Belt with a White Kyu Belt, our Federation has chosen a different path.
We value the significance of their journey to their current
belt. Therefore, we use a tab system that seamlessly integrates with the
solid-coloured Kyu belts.
This means that while new adult
participants start with a White Kyu Belt, our junior students retain
their Brown Mon Belt and simply attach a coloured ribbon or 'tab' to
signify their new Kyu grades.
This approach not only
preserves the achievements they have worked so hard for but also allows
us to celebrate their progress, in a meaningful way. It's about
honouring their growth while smoothly transitioning to the next stage of
their martial arts journey.
Rules for Senior Members
White Belt
Seniors Starting as a White Belt
Embarking on your karate journey as a senior student is an
exciting and empowering step, symbolised by wearing the White
Belt. This belt represents a blank slate—full of potential, ready
to absorb knowledge and grow. Regardless of your age or previous
experience, starting as a White Belt is a significant and
respected part of the martial arts tradition.
At the
Jewel Karate Club, we recognise the courage it takes to begin
something new, and we are committed to supporting you every step
of the way. Our training emphasises the values of perseverance,
discipline, and respect, guiding you as you build a solid
foundation in karate techniques and philosophy.
As a
White Belt, you’ll develop essential skills and gain confidence,
preparing you for progression through the Kyu grades. Remember,
every black belt was once a White Belt—it’s not just where you
start, but the dedication and effort you invest that defines your
journey.
We look forward to helping you take those first steps and
celebrating each achievement as you move forward in your martial
arts path.
Welcome to the Jewel Karate Club family!
