Black belt, 1st Dan syllabus - Ninjutsu

By Yossi Sheriff

The contents of this page have been depreciated, updated and moved to fifth level ninjutsu, black belt

The belt degree requirements previously outlined on these pages served as the foundational framework for AKBAN's Ninjutsu training for many years. These guidelines have not only inspired but have also been directly adopted by various other organizations. While we have since transitioned to the more evolved AKBAN Levels Grading System, we've chosen to preserve these original belt requirements as a historical resource for those who may find them useful.

Black belt, 初段, Shodan, or 1st Dan, page lists all the video of the Ninjutsu techniques required in the AKBAN academy to pass graduation. This exam includes all the material from the previous belt exams.

A regular time-frame to gain the expertise for the Shodan test in AKBAN is about 12 years. The exam is conducted with the founder and senior instructors. Any examiner can veto down the exam even if the majority ruled otherwise. In case of a veto the practitioner does not pass at that date.


The Black belt Belt exam marks the culmination of a long effort but does not necessarily mark the end of the practice.
