A beginner in the martial arts starts with a white belt . An expert receives a black belt . In between there's a yellow belt, a purple belt, a green belt, and I don't know how many other colors . I read where a white belt represents the innocence of a beginner, and a black belt means that its owner can do some serious damage . Part of the legend says that a black belt works his way back to innocence when he becomes responsible enough not to use his skills to hurt people , I also read that the color of a green belt has to do with the color of grass . Am I right ? I read all this a few years ago, so I forgot almost everything . What are the colors of the various belts ? What do the colors of the various belts mean ? In what order are they awarded ? Are they awarded in a different order in judo than they are in karate ? Thank you in advance for your answers .
