Sandan Techniques
Sandan
3rd Degree Black Belt
Sandan, 3rd Degree Black Belt, is the third black belt rank in Kenpo Karate and all Japanese martial arts. The rank is always awarded as Sandan by a Kenpo Karate Yudansha.
Sandan, 3rd Degree Black Belt, consists of 30 Self Defense Techniques and 18 Variations.
The student should demonstrate to the judges that they are truly ready for this rank by their power and proficiency in the Techniques and Katas.
At this point in the students training they have learned 537 Self Defense Techniques and Variations.
The Sandan, 3rd Degree Black Belt, test will consist of all techniques Yellow thru 3rd Black Belt done on both sides. All Katas Orange thru 2nd Black will also be done. The Basics chosen for this test will be the choice of the Instructor.
The time required to attain Sandan is approximately 5 years of training after receiving Shodan, 1st Degree Black Belt. Students have been studying and/or teaching for approximately 10 or 11 years to achieve the Sandan Rank. This time frame is approximate and denotes continuous training.
