Syllabus
The level achieved in karate training is reflected by the belt colour, and should accurately indicate the skills. In this sense, the belt is the primary source of knowledge about the achievements and shows how much karateka must learn. The belt system is in line with the idea of karate as a continuous process of learning and improvement, from the lower to the highest ranks. The belt symbolizes the never-ending process of self-development in the art of karate.
