CloudDragon Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 I have recently found a brown and black belt in a martial arts book. It looks like the high rank red and white belt except the squares are brown and black. Has anyone seen this used in a school, and who makes them? A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!
Pacificshore Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Interesting. In our system of Kempo, we have a brown/black belt rank. It's just before 1* black. The belt is half brown and half black, not like the one you found. As for who makes them, at least in our system, it's just taking the two belts, cutting them in half and having them sewn together, one side brown the other black. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
aefibird Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Same as in a my friends TKD school - he makes his own belts for junior grades. The junior black belt is half white, half black - made in the same way that Pacifishore's school make their brown/black belts. I've never known of a blocked black & brown belt before. I've only ever seen or heard of black belts with brown stripes or vice versa. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

SaiFightsMS Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 We used that as our 1st kyu or high brown belt. A brown belt with a black strip down the middle.
CloudDragon Posted July 9, 2004 Author Posted July 9, 2004 Thanks for the replies, BTW I found this in the book "The Ultimate Book of Martial Arts" by Fay Goodman, it is a nice resource for the beginning martial artist and gives a good overview of several popular martial arts.
