I was looking over the postings, Erin, and saw that in your art, Yamashita Shorin-Ryu, a stripe earned on the belt is the next color you're going for, so it's always changing and is a motivator.

In my own art, Soo Bahk Do, the stripe is always the same color, blue, as the dan color is blue.

This is the progression in our school. There are stripes at the white and yellow belt levels for the kids, otherwise there is no differentiation between 1st and 2nd level of your rank, in terms of belt color/stripes.

I see that your Tae Kwon Do follows the same stripes concept as Erin's Yamashita Shorin-Ryu, DWx. It's a smart idea.

Yeah it's not a bad motivator at all. Sometimes it's frustrating though, because the stripe testing cycles seem to be the same as belt testing in my dojo. So even at the lowest kyu ranks, it can take 6 months to achieve a new belt color. I was a yellow belt/yellow belt orange stripe for about 8 months, even though my skill set is above that. It can be frustrating at times.

Black belt.

The Lo belt ranks have a white stripe through the middle of the belt. The Hi belt ranks are solid. Lo brown has a stripe through the middle, middle brown is solid, and hi brown has a piece of tape on each side.
