Just an idea... not sure if this has been done already so i apologise if im stealing someone elses idea.
Someone posts a question about MA in general, and whoever answers it posts the next question.
1. Where does the idea of black belt being the highest coloured belt come from? |

I'm probably wrong, but is it because way back when, people didn't wash their belts, so by the time they were very advanced, their belts were a dark colour? _________________ Kool Kiais: ICE! DIE! KITES! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH! KIAI!

(this could be wrong too)
I thought I heard/read once that it was supposed to signify a day?
i.e. White belt - beginning of day/beginning of ma training
and as the day/training progresses, it gets darker.. |

Several books agree with both, but most of what i read suggests June1 was correct - the colour would show how long you had been training as it would get darker naturally.
So whats your question then? |

But main styles i think (as is my limited knowledge of Tai Chi) there are 5:
Ch'en style
Yang Style
Wu Yu-hsiang (Wu Yuxiang) Style
Wu Chien-ch'uan (Wu Jianquan) style
Sun style- Sun Lu-t'ang (Sun Lutang) |
