Karate Belts
When you have been training in karate for between three and six month you should be ready to take your first grading. Your first grading will be for the orange belt, the first step on your way to becoming a first Dan black belt.
After you achieve your orange, you can progress to the red belt within another three to six-month period. This then continues for the yellow, green, purple, purple and white, brown, brown with one white stripe, brown belt with two white stripes, and finally your 1st Dan black belt.
