Aikido Buyukan and Aikido Ryugikan are two different dojos practicing Yoshinkan aikido in the Durham region of Southern Ontario. As of right now, only Aikido Ryugikan remains open and is run by Graham Stewart Sensei, a Honbu trained Godan, (5th degree black belt.)
Actually Segal is a 7th degree black belt or dan in Tenshin Aikido, affiliated with Aikikai of Osaka Japan, He mixes it with American Kempo as seen example his first and best film Above the Law and with the best kempo in Glimmerman and Under Siege.
The requirements vary from school to school and style to style. In the style I practice, you have to be at least 14 to test for a full black belt. You can obtain a 'junior' black belt prior to that.
white belt means u have no idea about kung fu
In order for one to become an Aikido master one has to practise very hard and obtain the six Yukyusha (student) ranks, which allows one to obtain the higher Yudansha (black-belt) ranks. Although there is no minimum or maximum time-frame to obtain the Shodan it should take several years and hard practise getting there.
Register? I'm not sure what you are referring to. My black belt was awarded to me by an organization, after I met the requirements and tested for it. The certification is filed with the main organization. It shows that there is a legitimate organization behind my certification, and I don't just go around saying "I'm a black belt" without having actually earned it.
His belt is black with a gold buckle
In Japan you are a white belt until you are black. Some Dojo out of Japan still follow that system however that's up to the Sensei. The multi color ranking system did not come from Japan, I believe the US started that but don't quote me on that one. Also in Japan they had purple belts. If you were not an adult they would not promote you to black, so you wore a purple until an adult. The colors vary from organization to organization. Our Dojo is white, yellow, orange, blue, green, brown, purple, black. That does not mean that another school might have them in a different order. The belts don't really mean anything except your understanding of the techniques. Sometimes when you goto another Dojo, you wear a white belt, even if you are a black belt or brown belt. That's just being respectful. Usually the Sensei will give you permission to wear your colored belt. That's just the traditional way of doing it.
Judo would be closely related to Aikido.
the brown belt is before the black belt in allcountries.
No. Korea does have a similar martial art, but Aikido is Japanese.
Many styles have an age limit associated with being able to test for black belt. As such those students that show the necessary skills, but not the age and maturity that comes with it, for a black belt may be given the Junion Black Belt ranking until they reach the appropriate age. Some styles the requirements are the same, in others, a couple of additional kata are necessary to test for the full black belt level.
