Like many martial arts, Shorinji Kempo awards belt ranks based on formal examination. The term black belt has become widely known as a way to describe an expert in martial arts where a practitioner’s level is often marked by the color of the belt.
The black belt is commonly the highest belt color used and denotes a high degree of competence, and often associated with a teaching grade though frequently not the highest grade or the “expert” of public perception. It is also a relatively recent invention, dating from the 19th century, rather than an ancient custom.
While attaining ranks is not a primary goal of practice, most students find it helpful to know which techniques and movements they are responsible for on their next test, as a focus for their study.
