Origins of the Coloured Belts in Martial Arts ?


Martial Arts Gradings and the Value and Respect of the Coloured Belt.

By Henry Ellis


There are many varied ideas of the origins of the grading by coloured belts. It is a system that we the `Ellis Schools of Traditional Aikido follow from the 1950s with the legendary Budoka Kenshiro Abbe Sensei until this modern day.
All one needed was one belt, starting with white, this could be dyed yellow - then orange - then green - then blue - then brown - Of course times are not so tough now, and students buy their individual coloured belts.
