MARTIAL WAY GRADING SYSTEM

The Martial Way system does not have a formal belt-grading system as such but uses coloured T-shirts to differenciate skill and experience level:

WHITE T-SHIRT - Beginner - develop basic mechanics of movements, basic theoretic understanding of the Element System.

BLACK T-SHIRT - Senior - refine mechanics, develop unconscious self defence reactions, develop deeper understanding of the Element System (connecting the feeling of the elements with physical self defence movements).

RED T-SHIRT - Trainer - attain essence of the Element System, understand void in relation to the other elements, unconsciously work from void in all endeavours, have a complete understanding of the Element System on a conscious, mechanical level so as to express that knowledge in a teaching medium.
