什么是黑带平均的等级?
我花了很多时间研究不同的等级系统. 等级制度似乎是由博士发起的一个现代概念. 嘉纳治贺郎, 教育家, 谁想要一个评分系统来区分学生.
下个世纪, 许多款式都采用了腰带等级系统，但唯一的共同点是腰带系统的含义是创造者决定的. 随着越来越多的老师开始传播艺术和奖励腰带，这个含义也随着时间的推移而演变。.
Awarding “特雷” his black belt on April 27, 2013.
Prior to Dr. Kano, a head instructor, commonly called a master, issued students he felt were qualified to teach the art a certificate of professorship. 然后新教授会找到自己的学生来教学.
博士. Kano was a member of the Japanese Olympic Committee and observed that swimmers wore a sash to denote skill level. 据说他根据这一观察采用了等级制度，尽管我对此表示怀疑.
Supposedly, the most skilled swimmer wore a black sash but as most of these stories go, it is difficult to sort fact from fiction. 博士. 卡诺晚年曾在奥委会任职, 而讲道馆训练的早期照片似乎表明他们使用彩色腰带来表示博士之前的等级. 卡诺加入奥委会. 博士. 卡诺使用两种等级: 不分级排名 (below black belt) and graded ranks(black belt). Most of the other Japanese martial arts soon followed suit.
In Brazil, the Gracies, who learned a more ground focused form of Judo from Mitsuyo Maeda, 讲道馆的早期成员. 格雷西夫妇开发了不同的腰带系统. Their original system had three belts. All students, 再好, were white belts unless they were instructors in training. Instructors in training wore light blue belts and instructors wore dark blue belts. 或者就是我们常说的. 然而, 格雷西学院之前的照片 1967 似乎显示许多教练都佩戴黑带. 无论是深蓝色还是黑色, 学生除非是老师，否则无法取得巴西柔术的最高排名.

后来, Helio Gracie would change the belt system to allow people to get black belt without being instructors but he used different black belts to differentiate between an instructor and a non-instructor. 今天, most Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu promotions are based on skill and often competitive record as opposed to ability to teach. Professor Pedro Valente discusses the original system in this excellent video.
Karate and Taekwondo also adapted the belt system. 通常, you can learn striking arts more quickly than grappling arts. 空手道和 TKD 促销来得更快. It is still not unheard of for students training every day in Japan and Korea to earn a black belt in a year. In America, it is pretty unheard of to earn a black belt in less than 4 岁月.
American martial artists influenced the belt system in a couple of significant ways. 第一, the original belt systems only had a few colored or below black belts. 然而, many American did not have the patience to wait at a belt rank for a couple of years, so the early martial arts instructors added extra belts, so the students would stay interested in their next promotion.
第二, Americans elevated the black belt to where most people think it is an expert rank. In most systems, you are not considered a full instructor until you reach 4th Degree Black Belt but the black belt has become the symbol of perseverance and achievement within your school.
简而言之, the meaning of a black belt is relative to your school and curriculum.
