Kung Fu (Ranking)

Kung Fu is a type of martial art that people practice to learn how to fight and defend themselves. It is like playing a game where you need to be strong and smart at the same time.

In kung fu, people start at different levels based on their skills and experience. Just like in school, you start from kindergarten, and then you move up to higher grades like 1st grade, 2nd grade, and so on.

For example, in Kung Fu, there is a rank or level system that shows how skilled someone is. From the lowest level, which is the beginner level, all the way up to the highest level, which is the expert level.

To move up the levels or ranks in kung fu, people need to practice and learn new techniques and moves. They also need to pass tests to show that they have learned the new things.

When someone starts practicing Kung Fu, they are called a white belt, which is the lowest rank. Once they practice and learn enough, they can move up to a yellow, then an orange, then a green, and so on. The different colors represent the different levels of mastery.

The highest level or rank in kung fu is Grandmaster. This is someone who has practiced and learned all the moves and techniques for many years and has achieved the highest level of mastery.

So, just like in school, in Kung Fu, the more you practice and learn, the higher you move up the ranks.
