The following list includes the ranks of all members of the Academy, in order of seniority. Aikido ranks start at 6th kyu white belt (rokyu), and count down to 1st kyu white belt (ikyu) as the student progresses. Black belt ranks increase from 1st degree on up; each black belt rank takes roughly twice as long to achieve as the one before it.
