Belt Colour Order

[orion82698]

Well, I wouldn't but that is the belt system, and since we have to pay to test into every single one of those belts, it's a belt

IKCA Kenpo: white (white, the first belt, wow, that's wierd . . . ), yellow, orange, purple, blue, green, brown, black. In my school (not my entire organization) there are six stripes to each belt, but the stripes aren't really part of the belt testing, just more of a goal-setting aid (and it makes us look pretty).

When i create my own style and declare myself grandmaster (probably like next thursday or something, since it's my day off), the belt order will go as follows:

brown

 

orange

 

second degree orange

 

blue

 

camouflage

 

white

 

pink (hey, they have no pink font!)

light-ish red (OR light-ish red!!!! )

second degree pink

 

third degree pink

 

second degree light-ish red

 

fourth degree pink

 

fourth degree pink with camouflage stripe

 

gray (no gray either?!?!)

umber (i guess this'll have to pass for umber . . . but boy will my brown belts be confused!)

puce (that is, once i find out just what the heck puce is . . . and, seriously, they need to do something about this color selection!)

*doesn't matter what color this belt is, as long as it's made of duct tape*

 

duct tape with pink stripe

 

second degree blue

 

fifth degree pink

 

fifht degree pink with puce stripe

 

plaid

 

*this belt is picked randomly from a drawer, with a teal stripe*

 

black (quality black belts . . . with the cool buckles guys in rodeos get!)

NOTE: stripes running the length of the belt will denote degree as follows:

purple - second degree

red - third degree

puce - fourth degree

red-colored duct tape - fifth degree

plaid - sixth degree

No offense meant, man, but the belts you plan to adorn your style seems to be all the colors of rainbow and their intermediate blends. Even HTML has given up on some of your color schemes and recognized only a few. Why so many belts, buddy?

Anyway, will the color of your belt as grandmaster be white, exactly the same color like the one used by the beginner or newbie in karate? If so, then, you have earned my respects for your humility because white is the lowest ranked color in karate. As for me, only white and black really matters and in truth these are the only two colors that are universal in martial arts. All colors in between are insignificant or at the very least controversial.

I see them as stepping stones.
