Belt Rank

Belt rank is a way of recognizing the different stages of development a student progresses through on their way to Shodan. Each Rank has its own requirments. Ahsa Aikido tests students in three main areas. These include: 1) Techniques, 2) Ki Development, and 3) Application of the principles to daily life.

As a part of testing students are expected to know and understand the larger Aikido, Martial art and Zen communities. Meditation and knowledge of healing arts are also part of the curriculum.
