The Black Belt | ||
Rank Does Not Confer Priviledge or Give Power It Imposes Responsibility |
When a student begins his or her study of the martial arts a white belt is worn, which symbolizes a stage of innocence. As training continues, the white belt becomes soiled and starts to turn brown in color. With the passing of time the belt becomes so soiled that it turns black in color, symbolizing that the student has reached the stage of the Black Belt. As the years go by and with more training the edges of the Black Belt begin to fray and turn white. Eventually, the Black Belt turns all white in color, symbolizing that the student has returned to the stage of innocence.
