What is the order of the belts?
Every discipline has its own colour structure for maintaining the progress of a student. In U.K Tao Karate, before earning a black belt students progress through a system of eight different coloured belts. After achieving a black belt, a student may opt to continue his or her training to second degree, third degree, etc. Different degree black belts (first degree, second degree, etc) are indicated by bars that are embroidered into the ends of the belt – a first degree will have one bar, second degree will have two bars, etc.
