Karate Belts
Karate Belts
Karate belts signify a practitioner’s rank and progress, with each color representing different levels of skill. Beginners start with white belts, symbolizing purity and a blank slate. As they advance, they move through colors like yellow, green, blue, and brown, culminating in the black belt, representing mastery and deep knowledge. Each color transition reflects the growing experience and commitment of the student.
