KickBoxing levels?

Question

Or rather, how many are there? They're called belts even thou kickboxers don't actually wear belts...but can someone tell me how many there are and what order they come in?

Well, I have one. The first, yellow. So...

Answer 1

Weight classes. Amateur and Professional. Win/Loss record.

No belts.


I guess I should have said there were no belts when I fought in the 1980s. If there are belts now, then I stand corrected. By the way, thanks for the thumbs down, that's really nice of you.


How do you move from one rank to another? Most belt awarding styles rely on kata as their main assessment tool when determining whether someone should be promoted. Are you telling me that your Kickboxing instructor has developed a Kickboxing kata? What did you have to do to get a yellow belt in Kickboxing?

Kickboxing Levels

Answer 3

there are no "belts" in most kickboxing. I can, however, see someone giving belts in a kickboxing school. I talk bad about belts but on a business stand point I see there use. I also understand that there are people who think they need a belt to feel skilled. I am sure that there are many kickboxing clubs, gyms, dojo's etc. that has incorp. a belt system. As that go's I can not answer your question as to levels and colors. You will have to talk with your kicboxing coach, I would think that they are the one(s) who incorp. it into their system. There would not be a standard ranking system with colored "martial arts" belts, in general for kickboxing.

Answer 6

above it right. . .no belts...weight classes.
Muay Thai that is.

Maybe an Americanized version of "kickboxing" will have a belt system. Tae Kwon Do would be the closest I guess. In that case:

Novice Students

White Belt – The color white signifies innocence, as that of the beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Tae Kwon Do.

Orange Belt – The color orange signifies the changes of Autumn, as the student's mind and body begin to develop and grow as a result of the new Tae Kwon Do experience.

Yellow Belt – The color yellow signifies the earth. The beginning student begins to create a firm foundation in Tae Kwon Do technique, just as a seed begins to expand its root system deep in the earth as it begins to grow.
Intermediate Students

Green Belt – The color green represents growth, like that of the green plant as it sprouts out of the ground. The student has built a firm foundation and now begins to grow in the art of Tae Kwon Do.

Blue Belt – The color blue represents the sky. Reminding the student to reach for the heavens and continue their Tae Kwon Do journey.

Purple Belt – The color purple represents the changing sky of dawn, as once again the student undergoes a new change and prepares for the transition to advanced student.
Advanced Students

Brown Belt – The color brown represents the ripening or maturing process as that of the advanced Tae Kwon Do student whose techniques are beginning to mature.

Red Belt – The color of blood signifies danger and is a warning to the student to temper her newly found skills and techniques with control and wisdom.
Senior Students

Black – The opposite of white signifies maturity and dignity, as that of a senior student of Tae Kwon Do who has learned the basic curriculum of Tae Kwon Do and is ready to become a true student of Tae Kwon Do.
