August 15, 200520 yr The number of belts will usually depend on the dojo The one I am involved in has the same belt system as mlee, just without the yellow belt. "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T. S. Eliot
August 16, 200520 yr my shotokan belt system uses white, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, red, thhen black You can become a great fighter without ever becoming a martial artist, but no sir, you can not become a great martial artist with out becoming a great fighter. To fight is most certainly not the aim of any true martial art, but they are fighting arts all the same. As martial artists, we must stand ready to fight, even if hoping that such conflict never comes.-My response to a fellow instructor, in a friendly debate
