The brown belt ranks continue to grow at Gold Coast Chito-Ryu Karate with 2 new additions and progress for existing brown belts.

At Gold Coast Chito-Ryu Karate the levels 3-1 kyu are seen as where the serious preparation towards becoming a black belt happens. There is an expectation of a high quality technical standard, a strong spirit, a willingness to work hard consistently and a demonstration of the correct etiquette and behavior over a sustained period of time.

It is pleasing to see so many of our students demonstrating this and the inherent growth that comes with training this way. Well done to everyone, we look forward to seeing you all achieve your black belt in the not to distant future.
