There will always be the Jackie Chans and Jet Li's who will come along and dazzle us with their screen antics. But Bruce Lee was a seeker of knowledge, a true master of the fighting arts and philosophy.

My karate school has:

white

orange

yellow

red

green

purple

purple & 1 white stripe

brown

brown & 1 white stripe

brown & 2 white stripes

black (no stripes to denote dan grade)

personally, I'd like us to ditch all the stripe belts, as I feel that we have too many grades. Our kobudo training doesn't involve ranking.

In my Wing Chun school we have 4 sash colours:

red, green, brown and black. There are 2 levels within each sash, except black. However, most people don't wear their sashes, except on a grading day or when we have a special guest instructor.

I also train in Tai Chi but we don't have grades in that.

cho dan bo (dark blue belt)

karatekid, how easy/hard was it for students at your TSD school to get a cho dan bo belt? By "get" I mean literally buy rather than process of earning one... :D

It's just that I've never seen a dark blue belt for sale on any MA website that I've been on that is based in the UK - or for sale in any UK MA shop either. Did your school have to specially order dark blue belts or are they commonly on sale in the USA?

Yeah, our white belt is a pretty high rank.

Our schools belts are pretty neat though, they're black silk sashes with colored ends.

The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.
