Karate Black Belts (Dan Ranks)

The Meaning of Dan Ranks

In karate, "Dan" levels signify mastery and lifelong dedication to martial arts. Each Dan is more than a rank—it's a milestone on a path of discipline, respect, and relentless self-improvement.

"Black Belt is not the end, but the beginning of a never-ending journey of refinement. True mastery is measured by humility and perseverance." – WKA President
