The movements of this person and her understanding of the underlying principles has to be on a high level and very naturally.

7. to 10.Dan 40 10 years after 6h Dan, the 7th Dan is automatically granted. 10 years later 8th Dan, 10 years later 9th Dan, 10 years later 10th Dan. This stops at the age of 80.

So a person who reaches 6th Dan at age of 60 will get 7th dan 10 years later, but never 8th Dan (because this person has reached over 80 years of age 10 years after 7th Dan). A Person who reaches 6th Dan at age 35 (startet with this style at age 5) will reach 10th Dan at age 75.

The assumption here is, that from a certain level, this person will develop there skills and understanding forever, as long this person is able to do so. And it need no longer any examination for this, because the level of Godan is so high, that the person understands Wado Ryu full.


One idea is also, that the founder itself starts at 9th Kyu on Apr 1 2034 (100 years after the founding of Wado Ryu, SOURCE?????) and gets automatically promoted after the minimum time. So the Founder of this new training method or organisation would get Shodan in 2038, and Godan in the year 2054, indepemndent from his real Wado-Ryu Grade (which will be around Shodan in the year 2034).
