The dan ranking system is a Japanese mark of level, which is used in traditional fine arts and martial arts. Originally invented in a Go school in the Edo period, this system was later applied to martial arts by Kano Jigoro, the founder of judo and later introduced to other East Asian countries. In the modern Japanese martial arts, holders of dan ranks often wear a black belt, those of higher rank also red-and-white and red belts. Dan ranks are still given in arts such as the strategy board games Go and Renju, the art of flower arrangement (ikebana), and tea ceremony. The character of Dan is used in Japanese to mean step or grade, and is commonly equated with degree. However, the origin of the Chinese character, pronounced dun in modern Pinyin, was used to mean "phase". Dan rank is often used along with the lower rank system, Ky rank. There are other methods of assessing rank in Japanese martial systems; of particular note is the older, menkyo system. The definition of a 1st Dan Black Belt in the Young Americans system is, the student who has mastered the learning and execution of every technique from white belt through 1st Dan Black Belt.

Karate Kata
Kata is a Japanese word describing detailed patterns of movements practiced either solo or in pairs. Karate Kata are executed as a specified series of a variety of moves, with stepping and turning, while attempting to maintain perfect form. The practitioner is counseled to visualize the enemy attacks and their responses. Karateka "read" a kata in order to explain the imagined events. There are perhaps 100 kata across the various forms of karate, each with many minor variations. Teaching Traditionally, kata are taught in stages. Previously learned kata are repeated to show better technique or power as a student acquires knowledge and experience. It is common for students testing to repeat every kata they have learned but at an improved level of quality. The student will perform one new kata and one or two previous ones, to demonstrate how much they have progressed. The various styles of karate study different kata, or variations of a common core. Some kata may therefore be known by two names, one in Japanese, the other in Okinawan/Chinese. This is because Gichin Funakoshi renamed many kata to help Karate spread throughout Japan.
