Le passage de ceinture et les couleurs
Les ceintures de couleurs sont une invention occidentale. en karate tradi comme en aikido tu as des kyu (5 kyu de blanc, 3 kyu de maron) puis des dan ( 5 dan dans notre ecole). cependant si tu veux frimer devant tes copain tu peux dire faire le rapport 9kyu= blanche, 8e = jaune... pour l instant tous ce qui n ont pas encore fait de passage sont 9eme kyu.
il n y a pas de limite de kyu a passer a chaque fois (votre sensei est directement passe de 9eme a 3eme kyu car il n a pas pu assister a un seul passage pendant 2 ans). le jury se laisse le droit de decerner n importe quel kyu a l eleve qui passe et c est " indiscutable". Il n y a pas possibilite de regresser mais il n y a la possibilite de stagner. Biensur beaucoup de facteur entre en jeu dans un passage de grade, vrai niveau, travail et aciduite, etat d esprit, stress... je souligne ici qu aucun billet de 100 000 VND ne sera accepte.
pour les dan c est different. pour notre ecole il faut avoir fait 3 stage speciaux et presenter son premier dan lors d un stage de l ecole en France ( ou USA, belgique...)
encore une fois on ne joue pas sa vie. c est un exercice parmis d autres et l important c est de s entrainer
