BELT RANKING 

One of the one-of-a-kind parts of Jeet Kune Do is the absence of authority preparing wear. There are no gi's (what they wear in karate) and no belts. It's typically just exercise pants, a shirt with the school logo, and somewhere in the range of sneakers. Why the casualness?

Indeed, Jeet Kune Do is essentially western workmanship and I figure we westerners aren't generally known for our custom. So at any rate it's fitting. In any case, more to the fact of the matter is in the state of mind of the preparation. In JKD one trains for the road. So the clothing is that of what one wears in the city. What's more, to the extent belts go, on the off chance that some individual needs to know how great they are or how great another person is they put on the gloves and discover. 

As indicated by semi-reliable history, the advancement of belt rankings started out of the custom of failing to wash one's belt. After some time, as the understudy prepared a seemingly endless amount of time, his belt would get dirtier and dirtier until in the long run, he had a homemade dark belt. If some individual somehow happened to take a gander at another specialist and see an obscured belt he realized that the person was not kidding and knew his stuff. 

At that point at some point in the most recent century, the author of Judo conveyed hand-to-hand fighting to state-funded schools. He utilized different shaded belts as a method for positioning the understudies and in this way started the utilization of belt positioning. 

In Jeet Kune Do positioning is typically kept really relaxed. Bruce Lee felt that in an excessive number of combative technique schools, the objective had moved toward becoming acquiring the following belt. Understudies got the chance to stroke their pride each time they climbed a belt. The preparation turned out to be more about status and less about unadulterated love for craftsmanship. So Bruce Lee got rid of this type of positioning and constantly worried his understudies about the significance of quietude in preparing. 

Here at Austin Impact Jeet Kune Do we utilize a positioning framework in view of stages. There are 4 stages, everyone being broken into an apprentice and a propelled stage. There are no visual tokens given to the understudy as he climbs the stages, just more classes, and more propelled material. 

Having said the majority of that, I DO trust that rankings can be extremely valuable for many people. Everything comes down to why you're preparing and what sort of objectives you have.
