In our Wado karate style (Wado Shiho-Kai) we use stripes for the small kids.

-8th kyu white

-7th kyu yellow

-6th kyu blue

-5th kyu green

-4th kyu purple

-3rd kyu brown

-2nd kyu brown

-1st kyu brown (my sensei gives us the option to either stripe the current brown belt or get the half brown/half black belt).

-1st Dan black belt SHODAN

I believe at 4th dan u get a new belt I think it maybe black with red in it some where. It's been a long time since I've seen my sensei's belt. But since he became a 6th dan he was given a red and white belt.

[T3chnopsycho]

We have:

9th Kyu (White)

8th Kyu (Yellow)

7th Kyu (Orange)

6th Kyu (Green)

5th Kyu (Blue)

4th Kyu (Purple)

3rd Kyu (Brown + 1 stripe)

2nd Kyu (Brown + 2 stripes)

1st Kyu (Brown + 3 stripes)

1st Dan (Black + 1 stripe)

Dans keep on going up with the stripes.

In addition there is a separation between junior (silver stripe) and adults (red stripe).

It's a lot different than when I was a kid in the program a decade and a half ago where once the kids hit yellow belt (about 2 years in), their curriculum and progression became exactly the same as the adults' (he had split the white belt into three belts for the kids so they progress faster in the beginning to keep them interested). But he was losing way too many kids at yellow belt because they became frustrated when their progress all of a sudden slowed down because there was a lot more required for each belt (that's when I quit). So he just recently added the three degrees of junior black for the kids so they continue to have fewer requirements than the adults for each belt and go through them more quickly right up to junior black, where it becomes the same as the adult brown belt curriculum and slows down. In the end, they still hit adult black belt right at the same time.
