Karate belts are used to indicate a student's rank. It is visible marker of what a student has learned. It helps instructors to know at a glance what level the student is at and what techniques they are working on learning. Color patterns vary, but in general go from light colors to dark colors. While many think that black belt is the highest level, it is just the beginning of the levels. Most of the martial arts have ten levels of black belt. In the traditional Okinawa styles of karate, 7 and 8 degree black belts are actually white and red striped belts. The highest two, 9 and 10 are a solid red belt.
Belt colors are set by the school and organization. I believe I have seen all colors used at some point or another. I've even seen camouflage belts!
ABSOLUTELY!! It doesnt matter how old you are to join karate and earn belts. There was a woman in my karate class and she was 72 years old.....Karate is for anyone who is willing to learn disipline and respect!
They are black.
Belts states the level of your expertize in the sport. It also inspires you to work harder to win the next belt!
It will depend on the style of karate being taught at your YMCA. They are not the same everywhere. The instructor will be able to provide you the requirements for the various belts.
i got some from ebay.
The standard belt color system is white, yellow, green, brown, and black. In some Karate school and styles the color order is white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black. Depending on the school, stripes, additional colors and combinations are also used. I have even seen a camouflage belt!
