You've been really helpful! Merry Xmas!

Hi there, My son has been taking karate lessons for about 15 weeks, and was graded the other night. His mate received his yellow belt, 1 black bar (that's what it said on their website!) and my lad's just said yellow belt. What does the 1 black bar mean? I know it's a bad time of year to be asking this question, hence not being able to find an answer all day. Just hoping someone reads and can answer, as my boy is wondering why he didn't get a black bar! Erk!
