This is a Chinese School so we do not use the Japanese Belt System for Adults. Stripes are worn on the sash or pants leg so the Instructors will know what level of knowledge the student has attained. The Formal School Uniform is the Red Sash, which also helps with keeping the back straight and back support. Please see the School Etiquette Page for more information.
