karate belt
Dojo proficiency marker
A karate belt is the colored cloth sash worn around the waist in karate and other martial arts, indicating the wearer's rank or skill level.
Beginners typically start with white belts and progress through colors—yellow, green, blue, brown—until reaching black belt, which signifies advanced proficiency.
The specific color sequence varies by school or style.
