the wearing of the belt for chinese arts

stonecrusher69 · Red Belt

I also study Wing Chun and wing chun traditionaly and I saw traditionaly don't use any belt ranking system,but there is of course a way to know where you are at and wherea nother student is at.There is either you a jonior and senior students.If you are only there for say 6 mounts and only learned the first hand form you a begginer.If your on the 3rd form then your an andvance stundent because only someone who has matered the basics and has reached a fairly high level should be training this form.

hey lau gar, it seem that your system seems to be very similar to HO-GAR, i heard a story that in ancient china monks who guarded the temple who had learned martial arts would wear a white belt to hold there uniform together,
but as years went past, and they became more experienced , the belt became very dirty and became black,
thus showing the system white to black
just something i heard i guess

In my style of Black Tiger everyone wears a black sash,but it has no rank value at all.It's the color sash chosen for the school.Like Iron Arahat said earlier the respect is gained thru sparring and training.Also by the time you joined the school.Someone that joined before you is always shown respect as a sihing (big brother).

At my old school we did have ranking sashes.
white
red
blue
green
yellow
black

There was ten levels of black.
