Tenshinkai Aikido Belt Ranking System

Aikido belt ranks consist of Kyu ranks (preceding black belt) and Dan ranks (black belt ranks).
Promotion tests consist of a demonstration of techniques. Students are given a syllabus for each rank which outlines what they will be tested on. However, the syllabus is cumulative, and any previously learned techniques may be requested.

The general prerequisite to taking a promotion test is to attend a specific number of classes; however final discretion lies with the head instructor. Different students will progress at different rates.
