Thе bеlt ѕуѕtеm іn mоѕt mаrtіаl аrtѕ gоеѕ frоm whіtе, tо уеllоw, tо grееn, bluе, brоwn, аnd blасk. Eасh соlоr rерrеѕеntѕ thе nеxt рlаtеаu оr gоаl.

So, while setting a goal of black belt might be an initial goal for students, setting a goal of mastery through the levels of black belt provides a life-long motivation for self-improvement.
