Coloured belts in judo arrived in France in 1930 with Mikinosuke Kawaishi.
Appelées aussi Kyu, les ceintures de couleurs au judo représentent la progression d’un judoka. A l’origine, il existait seulement 2 couleurs de ceintures, la ceinture de judo blanche et la ceinture noire.
Today, the different colour belts in judo are white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black.
When you have a black belt in judo, you are said to have a 1st Dan black belt. There are 10 Dan in judo. From the 1st Dan to the 5th Dan, we have a black belt. Then when you are 6th, 7th or 8th Dan, you have a white and red belt. Judokas with a 9th or 10th Dan have a red belt.
