Meaning of the Belt and its Colour


​RED:  Grading preparation test for beginners

Yellow:  This is the belt where students transform from beginners to developing true skill in the art of karate. The belt represents an assertion of one's energy. Students learn to master the "tanden," otherwise known as the central point of gravity just below the navel. In this mastery, greater control over the body's energy is accomplished.

Orange:  The orange belt represents stability. The kata, or pattern of movements, is practiced with basic postures, punches, blocks and kicks. All other methods learned in higher belts build on the basic principles of the white and orange belts.

Green:  The green belt is the transition from beginner to true follower of the martial art. The students are humbled as training becomes even more serious. With this transition comes a great flow of emotion and sensitivity as they train in the advance kata and belt methods.
Purple: A purple belt begins to understand the meaning of the black belt.

Blue:  Once a student has mastered the basics and is stable in his form, he must learn to adapt as situations require him to. This is the purpose of the blue belt, which represents fluidity and adaptability. With fluidity comes the joy in training, greater strength and confidence of mind over body.

Brown:  Brown belts are nearing mastery. As a result, they are required to be both practical and creative by creating techniques and katas. This is where confidence soars as one's own personality is integrated with the many techniques already learned.

Black:  A Black Belt is the pinnacle of achievement in the martial arts. Many will work years to develop the mastery for this attainment. In reality, the belt is not the ultimate goal but instead a new beginning for a journey to start once again from the beginning with a new self-awareness. It represents a state of being and personal growth. At this stage you are not to mistakenly think that you have mastered Karate and relax; rather think more seriously and determine to train harder with understanding of oneself-body and mind alike.
