Came back from first strike 7 karate/tae kwon do/kung fu tourney in Hillsdale on Sunday...was surprised to see some of the belt colors.

I typically see pure karate tourneys so that's probably it...but is green belt a intermediate belt in Tae Kwon Do/Kung Fu? In my son's school it was the first belt where you were allowed to spar...so it is considered beginner.

Didn't directly effect us...just curious is all.

And what is orange?

It depends on the style of TKD but generally green belt would be the equivalent to 6th or 5th kyu so yes it's an intermediate rank. Orange is usually somewhere near the start and would be around 8th or 7th kyu.

We go white, orange, green, blue, brown, black. Each colored belt has a high and a low rank, and brown has a high, middle, and low rank.

Generally divisions are listed as novice (white, yellow, orange), intermediate (green, blue, purple), advanced (red, brown), black belt (black).

If your school doesn't do belts in that order, then the instructor just decides what ranks they consider in their school to be novice, intermediate, and advanced.

Like my school has purple belt between yellow and orange, so purple is actually considered novice.
