What are the karate levels?
The first five levels are signified with colored belts: white, orange, red, yellow, and green. The sixth and seventh levels are signified with a purple belt, and the eighth through tenth levels are represented with a brown belt. After your last brown belt, you'll achieve your first black belt.
Different karate dojos use different ranking systems. Most start with white belt and end with black belts of increasing rank. In between, there are a number of different colored belts such as yellow, green, blue, purple, orange, red, brown, etc. Some dojos also have indicators of a senior ranking.
