Actually in the old days they didnt wash their belt and the darker the belt got from training the higher your rank was.
Also great article

There is a point at which after many many more years the belt's exterior cover starts wearing and the belt would lighten again. That would be after many many years unless someone took a razor to it  |

"I have learn with each rank you learn something about yourself an others it like you just open your eyes for the first time an seeing things for the first time.
"That belt we have work hard for is tie around waist does make us who we are no but it does show how far we have come an how much we have learned.
"But we never forget where we been or who we are but we have gain a new strength we had not know we had we have gain wisdom an new sight
we now see with open eyes instend of closed eyes. |

| Has anyone read the book called The Budo karate of Mas Oyama? I think the author's name was Quinn, an Australian guy who was Mas Oyama's interpreter for a long time. Anyway, it has the most incredible section on the meaning of the color belts and the progression from one to the other. I have never read anything close to that explantion |
