At my school, we don't have a purple belt level. The progression is: white, yellow, orange, orange + 1 strip, green, green + 1 stripe, green + 2 stripes, red, red with 1, 2, 3 stripes then black. Where does purple fit in?
Most likely Orange with stripe. Ours start with white, yellow, orange, purple, green, blue, brown, red, red/black in center, red/black on bottom, red/black on top, and black.

There are so many makiwara training in karate like that. Ask your sensei. Note: Dont do it without your sensei's advice.
I just received my Green Belt! Each Belt I earn and everyday I train, I have more respect for the men and women who have been doing martial arts for years. This is truly a way of life.

Yes when I studied Tang Soo Do we had the same belt format. I studied under Grand Master Richard Byrne. Or atleast under his chain. We were part of the ATA and ITF what organization do you belong to?

When you test is it under your master or several masters?
