Jeez...I do aikido, and just in the Youth Rank we have ten belts. I don't know about adult rank, but there's several different blacks in Taekwondo, so...Yipes.

Unique heard of the red & purple. Well I just found the meaning. Few of my friends also reported me the “Pink Belt”. I also want to know what's that.

I go to ABD (America's Best Defense) for Kenpo Karate. Our belt order is White, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Brown, Black. After Black there are 10 Degrees of Black Belts. WHITE BELT to 1ST DEGREE BLACK BELT takes us 3 years. I am currently a 2nd degree Black Belt. Or a Second Grade DAN. ABD SELF DEFENSE
