Rank and Grading
Coloured belts and rank are not a traditional part of Karate. They were introduced with the westernisation of Karate with the aim of providing tangible goals and thereby popularising Karate. IOGKFNZ oversees grading at IOGKFNZ affilliated dojos to provide consistent grading in-line with the IOGKF.
