JR 137 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 My org doesn't use stripes, so this is fascinating to learn about!Stripes basically take the place of another full colored belt in some organizations. In Seido we have...10th kyu - White 9th kyu - Advanced white8th kyu - Blue7th kyu - Advanced blue6th kyu - Yellow 5th kyu - Advanced yellow 4th kyu - Green 3rd kyu - Advanced green2nd kyu - Brown 1st kyu - Advanced brown I’m currently 3rd kyu - advanced green belt. We see a patch on the “advanced” color belts. Many organizations just use a strip of tape to denote the same thing. My next promotion will be to 2nd kyu - brown belt. It’ll be a new and solid colored belt. When I’m promoted to 1st kyu, I’ll be given a patch to sew on my then current belt.Some schools do a whole new color for each kyu rank, others don’t. In the grand scheme of things, there’s really no difference.
