oho. Yeah, at our studio it's white, yellow, purple, orange, blue, green, red, red-black, black, and then degrees, etc., with three stripes per color (one blue, one red, one yellow) before one can move up to the next level. So I was a little confused at first, because being a green belt here can sometimes take a looooong time, and I didn't seem to remember that you've been taking karate for two or three years. Thanks for clearing that up :)
