In Chito ryu the belt system is as follows: White belt(1 and 2 yellow tips)] Yellow belt orange belt Green 3 green 2 green 1(sublevels of green are often skipped in testing) Brown 3 Brown 2 Brown 1 Sho Dan Ni Dan San Dan Yon Dan, etc. I am currently an orange belt.

Yes it is practiced but at a higher level (usually brown belt level).

Sparring is done in two half points, whoever gets a full point first wins. I study Chito-ryu karate.

Hi guys I've been doing karate for over a year now and I am still terrible at sparring and I have never won a match. I am starting to get discouraged. Any advice?
