Belt Colour Order

[darkness]

white, yellow, orange, green, brown, black

but the orange really looks alot more like red than orange, dunno what's with that

[swooshfinn]

in Kuk Sool it goes white->yellow->blue->red->brown->black

Don't forget the Brown/Black belts in there between Brown and Black

[aruder]

At my school:

White yellow green blue purple brown red red/black and black

a combination of my Sensei's old Karate and TKD ranking systems

Just wondering some of the different ranking systems there are.

At our organization, we use the following colors in ascending rank order:

White (9th to 7th kyu),Green (6th kyu), Blue (5th kyu), Purple (4th kyu), Brown (3rd to 1st kyu), Black (1st dan and higher)

Pre Black belt

 

the 1 Dan Black Belt.

That's a total of 18 belts to go through.

[Kicks]

Supposable, the color of the belt should get darker as you ascend in rank, from white to black:

white – 9th gup

yellow- 8th gup

orange- 7th gup

green- 6th gup

blue- 5th gup

purple- 4th gup

purple with red stripe- 3rd gup

red- 2nd gup

red with black stripe- 1st gup

cho dan bo, aka poom (half red/half black)-

black

[Ridge_hand]

White, Yellow, Orange, Purple [me!], Blue/Blue with green stripe, Green, 3rd to 1st degree Green, Brown, 4th-1 degree Brown, and Black

[panjandrum]

Well, at my old school, it went...

white > yellow > orange > purple > blue > green > brown (3d, 2nd, and 1st degrees) > black (1st - 10th degrees)

But there were 3 red stripes on each belt for each group of techniques you were supposed to learn. Like, you would learn a form and do a mini-test on it at the end of a class and then you would get a red stripe sewn on. Once you got all 3 stripes and passed your physical test (with x number of pushups, pullups, situps, seconds of spriting, jumping jacks, mountain climbers...) and did a review session, you'd be ready to test.

It really appealed to my OCD and love of organization.
