The Yellow belt curriculum marks a milestone in the AKBAN martial arts path, building on basic skills while introducing practitioners to more complex techniques. This collection serves as a reference guide for students preparing for examination and a structured pathway for practice after promotion. Each technique is documented through our video library, allowing students to study form, timing, and execution at their own pace.
AKBAN's approach to Yellow belt training balances technical skill with practical application, focusing on both the mechanics of each technique and the principles that connect them. As you work through this extensive curriculum, remember that progress comes through consistent practice and repetition. While this page lists the required techniques for advancement, real growth happens when these movements become part of your natural patterns and responses.
