The
white belt symbolizes the first rank of the student.
It is a belt of transition indicating willingness
to learn. While in the probationary period the student
is not required to wear a dogi or badge of the hoshinroshiryu.
The white belt indicates that the student has mastered
dojo conduct and that the sensei has accepted the
student into the hoshin system. The student will
know how to fall, understand the safety signals,
and will begin study of basic kicks, blows, throws,
holds, and locks.
The Hoshin White and Earth Belts DVD
contains footage for all the White and Earth belts syllabi, pdf
of belt syllabis, and test questions making this a complete package
for all new Hoshineers. The footage is professionally filmed and
edited to make your distance learning training easier.
