I see from reading my earlier post in this thread I'm the only person to have mentioned a style that only has white and black belts (Aikido).

 

Does anyone else on here go to a club with only two colours of belts?

I know in my style that in the US schools use a variety of coloured belts for the under-ranks, but in Okinawa the style only uses 2: white and black.

In Tang Soo Do, we had: white, orange, green, blue, brown, purple, red, red w/ stripe, cho dan bo (black belt candidate, which was midnight blue belt), black. The kids had two more belts before orange.

 

In TKD we had: white, yellow stripe, yellow, green stripe, green, blue stripe, blue, brown stripe, brown, red stripe, red, black stripe, black.

 

Now that I'm prolly going back to that school, they changed it to: white, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, brown, red, black (no stripes in between).

 

I'm not mentioning the McDojo I went to LOL (OK, I can't "dis" them. I learned Judo there. That was kinda cool).
