Sash Ranking And Instructors In Krabi-Krabong Worldwide

SASH AND LEVELS.
There are two clear parts when talking about Sash Levels.
First part: Goes from grade one until grade five.
Second part: Goes from Gold Sash 1st Degree until Gold Sash 11th Degree.


THE FIRST PART:
Grade one:When you start they give you this Belt; The color is yellow.
Grade two: After of few months of Training they give you this belt;Half yellow and half blue.
Grade third:The belt is blue, you are close to being at the level to start to teach. Your technique should be good and clear.
Grade Four:The color of this belt is red;This mean basic instructor. You know the basic techniques and forms; Also you can teach to the kids or beginners.
Grade Five:This level is advanced instructor, the color of the Sash is silver.T he basics should be very clear also you have some experience teaching. Now the person is ready to start the real training.


THE SECOND PART:All the second part is based on Stamina, attention, speed, power and determination.
The Buddhai Swan not only look for techniques or physical attributes but for the interest and energy that you put into it, to learn the whole aspect with respects to the culture, art, vocabulary, ceremony and prayers.
Also one of the very important parts is the spiritual part. Based in my observation the Ajarn will put you or ask you to do things, that in the first moment looks strange but afterwards you will understand.
They look at your personality, to see how you are, how much help you are willing to give, how you teach another's students...In other words Who is the person that lives behind your body.
That is the wonderful thing.They qualify you for how much effort you put into it and not how many things you can do.
Buddhai Swan Institute is a family,where everybody eats at the same table, sleeps at the same place and works hard at the same time.
The training involve 326 hours to be Gold Sash; After that the institution will give you the Gold sash number that they think that you have earnt. Based on your personality, in the number of shows that you been and how many times per year you been in the Institute. Some people just one,and some people every year.
