The grading system of BlackCombat

BlackCombat is a separate style we teach at our local martial art school Ichinen Bridport. This system for self defence combines the very modern with the very traditional.

Very modern when we look at the techniques each grading syllabus requires and very traditional as BlackCombat has broken with the multi colored belt system which is today found in most martial arts. Varying from 6 up to 15 student grades and followed by the master grades.

BlackCombat uses the three belt system as it was in use before Budo left Japan.

A white belt is the first grade, followed by the brown belt, the senior student. These grades have to be gained via a grading.

The 1. Dan black belt is at first awarded by the personal master and the aspirant has than got one year time to "work off the black belt syllabus". Otherwise the grade becomes invalid and is taken away.

Another way to gain a BlackCombat master grade is to prove significant skills and knowledge in the field of self defence. Not every martial artist can claim these skills. Some are focused in sports activities etc. In this case an aspirant can retrain and widen his skills with the self defence before joining.

If a martial arts master can prove good skills of self defence, he or she can be graduated according to the previous grade and amount of self defence skills.
