myLot reputation of 87/100. earthmother (338)   ranked 1 out of 1 in karate11 months ago

does anyone know if the colors of the belt have a special meaning why they were chosen as such colors? i did karate for a little bit and know that the belts are ranks, but wondered if they randomly chose the colors or if it means something else...

YA dude .
I can tell you about the history of belts .
and its relation in terms with human efforts and characters.

WEll karate was not exactly stared at japan but believed to be. It was started in okinawa.

The BLACk colour is the traditional colour of japan .
The japanese believed that a man starts form a weak beggining and reaches the strong end.
similiarly the colour starts from white, the lighest that sybolises a man to be a weak and beginner.
It gradually become dark going from yellow, orange, green ...black .
Black is the darkest colour where a man becomes the strongest and toughest .!!!

So I think u like the information source.

I am also a karateka and 1stdan black belt . (sampai)

Wonna add me as a friend???????????????????????????????/

Somehow, brushing over a little in history. To what country does Okinawa really belongs to? Some say it's part of Korea, others had it China.

Your info on the history on the colored belts is also helpful, though. Sad to say I only got to green belt when my dad found out I was in a fight. So I was forbidden to study Karate since then. Stupid. Should have knon better than to give in to my temper. That was when I was twelve.

as I know your belt become darker and darker this means the more prepared you are for a fight. martial art grading system is designed for warriors so if the more darker is your belt the more better the belt colors where I had known. white, green, blue, purple, brown, black
