There are waiting periods between each rank. I believe this is because we swing swords around and even someone who hasn’t done the art extremely long can kill someone with a sword, thereby making them more dangerous than the average inexperienced martial artist. So in essence we go from white belt to brown belt and skip the ranks that are in between in other arts. If needed, seniority can go as granular as the day you first came to the dojo to train. If you don’t know, you err on the side of them being higher than you. How do we do ranking in the dojo? You just know who’s ranked higher than you are and line up appropriately.
We don’t have a belt system our belts are simply to keep our hakama up and our katana in the right place.
Iaido has a different grading system than other arts.
