Striped ranks

Belts can be purchased at the Hurricane Recreation Center front office. Our karate class does not make money off selling the belts.

Please know that these striped belts are not in the original Isshinryu style. This system was created by our instructor Marlow Jones. Over the years we noticed that most kids dropped out before ever reaching a yellow belt because students couldn't see their progress while they learned the basics required to earn a yellow belt. In our class, we use these striped belts as an incentive and as a way to show kids that they are progressing.
