Karate Belt Colors, Levels & What They Mean

There are ten karate belt colors in all, one color for each level or grade that a person achieves on their way to becoming the ultimate black belt champion! The karate belts colors in order are: white, yellow, gold, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, red and black. In history the karate belts would be reused for each level and dyed new colors to reflect the new levels color during progression.
