[While is true that form the first grade of black belt the students can access nine other levels, it is necessary to clarify that: this levels are available exclusively to those acting as instructors. They teach and transmit what they learned is mandatory for all who wish to advance the Kimugan character, because teaching not only transmits to others what they have learned, but is the knowledge itself that is strengthened, the technical details are polished to see the mistakes reflected in students and a great contribution to society made by spreading a nonviolent martial art and self-improvement as is the Kimugan.]

[With the approved greenbelt, students over 13 years old are entitled to apply the test monitor instructor to teach on their own. (In these cases the student is under the direct supervision and guidance of an advanced until they pass the first examination of black belt instructor.)]

[It should be clarified that to render the first degree of black belt the student must have reached the age of 16, with exceptions.]

Does the belt mean anything?

   The truth is, the most important thing is learning. With years of training and with all the knowledge and wisdom one may have however, when the belt reflects the years of training of a student, that is when it becomes an important symbol. It is physical proof  of the years of effort one has put in and allows the other students to see that.

   The belt is also a element that reaffirms (psychologically) of the learning of one, that not only shows what they have accomplished but that they carry a greater responsibility with it. Therefore, one must understand the symbolic value of the belt.

About the associations, federations

and confederations

   In the Kimugan the associations, federations and confederations (or suchlike) do not play any important role, because Kimugan is a Martial Art and a complete Self-Defense System that fulfills a social function from education, security, sport, art and culture, which translates into a School that diffuses a noble philosophy of life, and is in the antipodes of entertainment, games, tournaments, shows and sports competitions that are totally contrary to the original martial arts.

   The founder of Kimugan (Doshu Prof. Gabriel Gagliardini) has indicated from the beginning, follow the path to self-improvement through the practice of Kimugan, and has always had a clear and non-negotiable position on the non-competitive aspect of Kimugan, to avoid malice and kept free of the constraints generated by sports regulations. The Kimugan is effective, and does not even has few limits as vale-tudo competitions.

   It is true that a large part of martial arts schools have modified their original art, and decided to devote himself to sports competition through its participation in tournaments, championships and international matches. For all that may be necessary to rely on associations, federations and confederations.

   Every serious student should reflect on the origin of every genuine martial art: defend against one or more assailants than larger than one's self, and also against attackers who carry some kind of weapon. The Kimugan fits this concept and considers that this very basic objective can not become negotiable.

   The reality shows that when a martial art develops an area of sports competition is inevitably limiting its technical arsenal and gradually corrupts the spirit of art, because everything becomes ambiguous, and in the minds of students develops the pernicious idea to surpass others in a game of superficiality that puts him outside the limits of the real-world situations, slowing their personal progress and leading him astray from the path of the warrior...

"While ordinary me

entertain with their games,

the inside warriors

deepens their vital training."

Doshu Gabriel Gagliardini

SEVERAL COMMENTS

- David, age: 19.
I played soccer, basketball, and handball for many years and won several competitions, which gave me a lot of self-confidence. Until, when I was 18, a couple of big guys got me leaving a party. I couldn't move, and I was paralyzed for a couple seconds, somehow I got out and started running for my life. I ran and did not stop until I got home. When I looked back they were more than twenty blocks away. I felt as if I was dying because I had no air left in me, I felt I was dying. They ended up beating and robbing my friend, while he was on the ground they kicked him and told him they were doing it because he was blonde. I'm now learning Kimugan, and me work with all types of real situations. The most important thing is that now I now know that it is not to win, but to live.
 

- Lucas, age: 32.
It took me a lot to start. I'm very pacifist by nature, which is an obstacle for me, and I always felt rejected by martial arts and boxing. But then I found Kimugan, which is unlike anything else I have known, and I decided to give it a chance. In just the first month of training I have learned that I have the right to defend myself, and not just for myself, but to defend my family as well. In addition, I get excellent physical training, which helped me loose extra weight that had always bothered me.

 

- Mia, age: 26.
I was a well-known martial art teacher, and at first I rejected the idea of Kimugan and I don't know why. Maybe because it was something new... plus I did not want to start from scratch. The first time I saw one of the videos online... I liked it so much, but I envied it and decide to forget it. In the end I decided to start and I was  very interested of what I observed:  simple movements, clear actions, no violence... and from that moment I decided to sign-up. Everything got better for me that day! Thank you!!!

- Hugo, age: 37.
The training is great. What I like the most is that you don't train to compete and win a trophy or money, but for something much more important: to improve and eliminate your weaknesses. I recommend that you train hard!
 

- Marianela, age: 21.
For me the best of this school is that the classes are always different and vary. There are no dense routines; I'm someone who gets bored easily, but not here. In each class you see new things, like: grips, leverage, disarmament, etc. It is an excellent activity for all ages.
 

- Eric, age: 68.
The first thing that occurs to me since I have started Kimugan is that I am much better. That is awesome!, I lost weight and feel like a 10. Also, it is nice to be able to be in the same class with my grandson, so I can look forward to each training.
 

- Sarah, age: 19.
I started this activity out of curiosity, and gradually I was getting deeper and deeper into it. I now feel super safe where ever I go. I love Kimugan!!!, and I enjoy each class. My goal is to become an instructor.
 

- Jonathan, age: 24.
Kimugan is very good for the mind. To all of those who are going

to enroll themselves, I have a recommendation: be persistent! Perseverance is essential in Kimugan. Something that I learned during my first year of Kimugan is: the results of Kimugan are in everyday life. Gradually, it clears the mind.
 

- Christian, age: 38.
I was in the military for nearly a decade, in the past couple of years going to the gym every once. Now I know about Kimugan, it is very interesting, mainly of what you learn about self-discipline. Also, I was very interested in weapon handling. But I don't want to forget something that is very important, what I like the most about the trainings is that I learn non-violent techniques that are totally effective.
 

- Brian, age: 45.
I boxed when I was a kid, and I sign-up to see what it is like. It is not better or worse, but there are completely different things, I have learned: grips, locks, leverge, weapon use, kicks, etc. It is a great activity, I have regained flexibility and I sleep better. I would like to become an instructor before age 50.
 

- Mary, age: 18.
From practice, I assure you that the Kimugan is 100% real, techniques are very good and simple, for example: I will do a certain lever to a man over 200 pounds, and he can not move if I will not allow it. It is truly amazing! I invite all those who read my comment to check for themselves about what I have said, if I could (with so little coordination) anyone can !! If you have any questions look first YouTube and Vimeo videos.

We should also ask ourselves:

how to choose a martial art?
 

   We invite you to follow these seven steps:

   1. First of all determine your ultimate objective. What is your goal?

a) martial skill as a primary concern, with health and fitness.
 

b) Health and fitness first, with martial training as a secondary benefit.

c) Being part of a group that sympathizes with or is a supporter of some alien and remote tradition or culture.

d) Win trophies and recognition participating in competitive events.

e) Let out the nervousness caused by their own frustrations and failures hitting and injuring others.

   2. Take into account your current physical abilities. If you are older or are not very aerobatic looking for something simple and effective, as close combat martial arts that emphasize technique and lever therefore are more useful as you advance. If you're not a giant, you should evaluate an art that is mainly based on technique and not rely on a particular height or weight to succeed.

   3. Set aside a significant amount of time each week to devote to your training. Most arts have exercises or ways you can practice at home to keep everything fresh in your mind; if you only practice in class, your progress will probably be minimal. The class is mainly for learning. It is essential to train at home, unless you attend the dojo (training place) every day.

   4. Set a budget. Some arts require a significant investment. You must be willing to pay your monthly payment on the agreed day or before paying late is a serious lack of respect. You also have to have an extra amount of money to buy workout clothes (which is very accessible) and to pay tuition, examination certificates and corresponding expenses. It makes no sense to be interested in something which the cost you can not or do not want to pay.

   5. Seriously consider the effectiveness of the martial art that you are choosing.
Is it a clearly effective martial art with its technical and philosophical aspect?, is it an activity based on the current reality?, does it feed off of tournaments and superficial elements?, is it a cluster of rituals and mythical issues?, or is simply a show of acrobatics and rotations?
Look for general information on the Internet, and then look at as many videos as possible from the school that has caught your attention. After that request a personal interview with a representative of that discipline.

   6. Check the history of the instructor. How long he or she has studied? Does the teacher have some teaching experience, or simply a suitable martial artist? (Like the great soccer players can be bad coaches, famous martial artists are not necessarily great instructors). Does he or she have a certificate to enable him or her for teaching or at least passed a minimum amount of teaching materials or by a teacher in any branch of education? Does he or she train alongside their students or only give directions? Does he or she show the effectiveness of each class by what it teaches, or attacks must conform to a set of guidelines so that artificial techniques can be applied... And is it something fundamental: 100% dedicated to teaching his or her martial art or lives or works in another activity and gives some classes a week (as if it were a hobby)?

   7. Think of all the evaluated and determine whether the chosen discipline will bring you a personal improvement and if somehow make society a better place. If you are looking for an activity that is: 0% tradition and 100% efficiency, suitable for today's urban environment, not aggressive, seeking personal development through self-control and self-discipline (without malice or vain competitive ambitions) and that has been developed to neutralize the aggressor in all kinds of situations... you already know what you should learn, stop doubting and do it!
