aefibird Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Do all styles of karate have colourde belt grading systems? Obviously I know that Shotokan does and, as far as I was aware, so do other karate styles. Are there any that just have white & black belts or a limited range of coloured belts?

Pacificshore Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Our system has a colored belt system. Don't know about just the white and black belt thing anymore tho Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
equaninimus Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 The WAdo dojo where I started training 23 years ago just used white, green, brown,and black. Sensei has added orange and blue, since then. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
Karateka_latino Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 In my dojo we still use the traditional white, green brown, black. Belts are overrated.
krunchyfrogg Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 We use White, Yellow, Green, Purple, Brown, Black. There are a few stripes for some of the belts, and you can only gain a belt at a shiai (held twice a year).

gheinisch Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Our system uses White, Yellow, Green, Purple, Brown, Brown/Red, Red, and Black. Not sure about karate just using White to Black but I believe some of the Kung Fu styles have a White to Black sash system.

Uechi Kid Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 We have ten colored belt ranks. Small steps until brown belt then things get more intense. I think most people need some recognition along the way. More Practice
DarkAngel_Azrel Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 we have the colour system starting white orange green purple blue brown the brown and white, brown and orange ect the black let not the fear of death stay your hand nor defeat your courage.The warrior who will provail is the one who confronts death its self
