red belt
Pre-black martial rank
A red belt is a rank in martial arts such as taekwondo, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, typically indicating advanced skill.
In some systems it marks the highest level below black belt; in others, particularly jiu-jitsu, it represents mastery beyond black belt, awarded only after decades of practice.
