When I first started in CLF we did not have sashes (belts) you were either a student or a teacher. Now a days there is a ranking sytem. I have it somewhere but my PC is having problems and I am at the library. The reason we have ranks now, is to give incouragement to students. This is not to be taken disrespectfully, It's the way CLF started, or at least my school.

You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.

In my karate dojo is:

 

White

 

Yellow

 

Orange

 

Green

 

Blue

 

Brown

 

Black

 

This is the color scheme used by FILJKAM which is the main organization of MAs in Italy. It is a federation controlled by the CONI which is a government agency (this thing of having Gov agencies controlling sport federations is an heritage of the fascist regime where sport was a matter of national pride).

 

My Tai chi chuan school instead has only white blue and black.
