Nidan

After receiving a black belt, further progress is not determined by what one learns, but by how the lessons are understood. As such, after this point training is now defined by the persistent polishing and refining of previously-learned techniques, and as a reward for great efforts to advance and promote the art of Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō. As such, the promotion criteria for the rank of nidan are subjective, and there are no formal tests. However, the following will definitely be asked of you:

  1. Continuously train for a minimum of two years after earning the rank of shōdan.
  2. Serve as an assistant instructor in your dōjō.
  3. Participate in the black bet division of a shiai, and perform reasonably well.
  4. Learn the required kata (Godan]], Katachi no Hajimete no Kama, Tsuken Shitahaku no Sai).
  5. Demonstrate ability in kumite.
  6. Demonstrate knowledge of all previous qualifications.
  7. Receive the approval of the Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō Yudanshakai

Sandan

After receiving a black belt, further progress is not determined by what one learns, but by how the lessons are understood. As such, after this point training is now defined by the persistent polishing and refining of previously-learned techniques, and as a reward for great efforts to advance and promote the art of Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō. As such, the promotion criteria for the rank of sandan are subjective, and there are no formal tests. However, the following will definitely be asked of you:

  1. Continuously train for at least three years after earning the rank of nidan.
  2. Assist in teaching classes and running the dōjō.
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of all previous qualifications.
  4. Be approved for your rank by the Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō Yudanshakai
  5. Learn as many of the listed kata as possible:

Progression to 4th-degree black belt is determined through demonstrating a mastery of all previous requirements. For these reasons, the criteria for promotion are somewhat subjective. However, the following will be asked of you:

  1. Continuously train for at least four years after earning the rank of sandan.
  2. Open a dōjō of your own.
  3. Know all of the advanced kata listed in the requirements for sandan.
