Editing Bujinkan (section)

===Kyu levels===
The Bujinkan Dōjō has a series of ''[[kyu|kyū]]'' (grades) below the level of ''shodan''. The new student starts at ''mukyu'' ("without grade") and progresses from ''kukyu'' (9-kyu), the lowest rank, to ''ikkyu'' (1-kyu), the highest. Unranked (''mukyū'') practitioners wear white belts, kyu grade practitioners wear green belts (men) or red belts (women), and those with ranks of ''[[Shodan (rank)|shōdan]]'' and above wear [[Black belt (martial arts)|black belts]].  In some dojos kyu-level practitioners&nbsp;– especially in children's classes&nbsp;– wear colored belts, though the actual color of the belt varies from place to place. In Japan it was once customary for kyu-level men to wear green belts over a black [[keikogi|ninjutsugi]] and women to wear red belts over a purple ninjutsugi, but this practice has largely been abandoned. Currently, both male and female Bujinkan practitioners now wear green belts over a black ninjutsugi and on the feet they wear tabi (soft-sole ''[[tabi]]'' for indoor training and ''[[jika-tabi]]'' for outdoor training) at most dojos.
