Hi my name is Luke,
I have Ten years training in GKR karate.

im not sure of any such thing as black three, though once you pass your kyu grades (Coloured Belts) and you get your Black-Belt you then proceed to dans.
e.g
1st Dan (Shodan)
2nd Dan (Nidan)
3rd Dan (Sundan)
ect.
Getting Your black belt (Shodan-Ho) is hard though proceeding on to 1st & 2nd dan is Alot harder!
Then to proceed to 3rd dan and above you cannot just rely on skill, and although you will need this to a curtain existent to achieve you’re Shodan-Ho, you will also have to show them that you are a good Karate-Ka and a good individual and not just someone with impressive Kata & Kumite.

Regards
Luke
