Rank Requirement
Information
The world of martial arts is steeped in tradition.
Most schools and styles have a system of
acknowledging and honoring rank determined by
levels of technique and seniority. One of the
primary purposes of the USHF's existence is to
promote and to provide a system of Rank
Requirements.

The USHF Board of Examiners has established a
rank requirement curriculum for our associate
schools.  These are requirements that have been
established as a bare minimum for rank
advancement within the USHF affiliated schools.  

Each school is encouraged to use these
requirements as a guideline for establishing their
own rank requirements.  We highly encourage
schools to include concepts and techniques from
other systems and arts to supplement these
requirements based on the needs of their
respective students.

For each belt rank the student must demonstrate
proficiency in the required techniques for that
rank. In addition, students are required to be
prepared to demonstrate any or all techniques
for ALL previous ranks. The previous ranks are
the foundations for the next.

Requirements please download the PDF below.
