bushido_man96 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 My organization uses 1 stripe on each side of the belt per dan grade. We use gold lettering. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 We use the numberals system and have it on one side (supposed to wear it on the left) with our name. Is there a reason why most belts. ones that I've seen anyway, are embroidered in gold? It does look nice but I was wondering whether there is an actual reason for it...

bushido_man96 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have seen some belts embroidered in red as well. I think it just depends on what the instructors like. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordtariel Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 In my shotokan system gold lettering is reserved for nidan and above. This is similar to my school in shito ryu. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Shotokan/Daito Ryu - Plain black belt, no stripes or anything. Regardless of degree. Chuan Fa- Plain black sash for bb, white fringe added for 1st degree, green fringe added for 2nd, brown fringe added for 3rd. All fringe removed and red fringe only is worn for 4th and above.BJJ- Black belt with a red bar. 2 stripes are worn on it (one at either end of the bar) if you are an instructor. After that one stripe is added for each degree. *I am not a BJJ Black belt, just know the system used by Pedro Sauer/ Gracie Jiujitsu* "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

gzk Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Also with BJJ, 9th and 10th degree is denoted by a solid red belt, which I believe only Helio and Carlos Gracie Sr. have. Battling biomechanical dyslexia since 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Also with BJJ, 9th and 10th degree is denoted by a solid red belt, which I believe only Helio and Carlos Gracie Sr. have.I always thought it was interesting how BJJ awards red belts to their highest masters whilst in other styles red is usually used for a lower rank. Can anyone enlighten me as to why the Gracies chose the colour red? "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It's based on Judo rank. In judo, red is not a lower rank. I forget where it sets, but it's somewhere around 5th degree. Actually, in many martial arts (karate and chuan fa that I've seen) red is usually reserved for high ranking experts. I think the Korean arts are more likely to have red as a rank that is lower than black belt. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
