5th kyu
With green belt comes an extra degree of skill as the various different techniques start to become integrated together. As such, green belts are regularly placed in charge of lower grades to instruct and supervise them.
Syllabus requirements decrease from this point as the emphasis changes towards style and skill rather than sheer breadth.
