11 yr old girl kicking butt in grading

[etphonehome2915]

Does anybody know how many belts or levels there are and how long it takes to get them (belts)? And how much ground fighting is there in this system?

[hughzy78]

There are 7 belts. With good training & commitment you are looking @ 5yrs+ to get them. The Goshinkwai style is an unarmed self defence form of jujitsu. Quick footwork, multiple strikes, powerful low kicks, locks, grappling are some of the things which make it very adaptive. The idea is to try & not take it to the ground but if it does there are basic ground techniques to work with.

Hope this helps

Thanks. It looks very efficient. Direct and powerful. I hope they get some ground techniques incorporated like bjj (brazilian jiujitsu) in a combat version. Even if people do not train for ground situations it is necessary to know tech´s to survive.

Exceptional green belt grading for an 11 yr old. Cant wait to see her standard by the time she hits her teens - Keep up the good work - Well Done!
