How you go to next rank?

When you are white belt you must learn the name of blocks, numbers, kicks, your teachers name, and the name of your school in japanese. Then you must do three katas but this is the only time you have to learn three. Then do 10 good push ups. This is called the Kata test. The second part is fighting everyone non-stop starting from low rank to high 1 min each round.
From yellow to brown two stripes goes the same only difference you learn one kata at a time and not name the blocks, kicks, etc. But when you reach green belt you must learn how to use a weapon first one is the bo. A long stick about your height or a little less.
When you are going to turn to black belt you must do 75 push ups non-stop. Then all the katas four times with hard punches with power. By then you must know at least four weapon but are required to do one. The final test fighting do the same but only 2 min with each person. Remeber they are rested and fully charge with hard kicks and punches. Once you fight with everyone you fight two people at the sametime for 3 min.
