BELT COLOURS
 

Below are the belt colours and corresponding grades we use in our dojo. Not all karate styles and dojo use all the same colours and some use them in a different order.


     
  Beginner - ungraded     
  Kyokyu - 9th kyu     
  Hachikyu - 8th kyu     
  Nanakyu - 7th kyu     
  Rokukyu - 6th kyu     
  Gokyu - 5th kyu     
  Yonkyu - 4th kyu     
  Sankyu - 3rd kyu     
  Nikyu - 2nd kyu     
  Ikkyu - 1st kyu     
  Shodan - 1st dan & above     
 

For children not wishing to take a full grade, there are 'B' grades within the colours. As an example: green belt & a black stripe is 6th kyu 'B'.
