IFSF KICKBOXING BELT ORDER AND COLOR MEANINGS

White Belt – This is where everyone begins. The color white symbolizes the student’s innocence and ignorance of KICKBOXING

Yellow Belt – The first full color, this belt means that the student is beginning to learn and create a foundation in KICKBOXING. The color yellow represents the ground or earth in which the seed of knowledge has been planted and will grow.

Green Belt – This belt is in my experience, a milestone. I would say that most people never make it past this point. The student’s KICKBOXING knowledge and experience is growing at a good pace now. The color green represents the plant as it sprouts and begins to grow.

Blue Belt – At this point, the student should have a good foundation in KICKBOXING and is prepared to begin learning more advanced techniques and theories. The color represents the sky toward which the plant reaches as it matures into a tree.

Red Belt – My favorite definition: The red belt is a student who knows quite a bit about KICKBOXING, enough to be dangerous. Now, the student must learn control, a crucial skill. The color red signifies danger, warning others to stay away and reminding the student to practice control.

Black Belt – This is the end of the introductory stages. On average, this rank takes 3-5 years to reach. Traditionally, only after achieving the rank of black belt, is the pupil considered to be true student of KICKBOXING. It is without a doubt a great mark of progress, but is far from the end. Truly, it is only the beginning. The definition of the color black is simple the opposite of the color white.
