sophomore asked:


In Judo, what is the difference btw a 1st dan and 5th dan black belt ?

Which is the more advanced level and how hardcore are we talking about for that better one out of the two?

Josh asked:


I hear that all you have to do is match your belt and shoes, but does it all have to match up. Can I wear a brown polo (with small blue stripes) with a black belt and black shoes… I’m really not good at all of this.

KJ asked:


I did martial arts for almost ten years but have not been training for the past five years. I started my own club now but I do not know how many years you need to train to get 1st dan and from there on up to all the rest of the black belt dans. I also see some stiles stop at 5th dan but others pass to 8th dan. Can some of you clear this for me up? I want comments from all styles of martial arts.
