The belt system in my dojo is really easy. 12th Kyu - White belt 11th Kyu - White belt with a blue stripe on the end 10th Kyu - White belt with two blue stripes 9th Kyu - Blue belt 8th Kyu - Blue belt with a green stripe 7th kyu - blue belt with two green stripes 6th kyu - green belt 5th kyu - green belt with brown stripe on the end 4th kyu - green belt with two brown stripes 3rd kyu - brown with 2nd kyu - brown with one black stripe 1st kyu - brown with two black stripes Then after black it's Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Etc. until you achieve master.
Our system goes: white yellow orange blue purple green brown brown with black tip [1st Kyu] black [Shodan] then Nidan, Sensei, Renshi, Shihan, Kyoshi etc.
Just wanted to add that in our system that all gradings above yellow belt are done at National level with a grading panel of internationally qualified instructors. Brown beltss and black belts have multiple people grading them. Also that each person is selected to grade if and only if they are ready for it.

In My club (Okinawan Shorin-Ryu) : 8th Kyu - White 7th Kyu - Yellow 6th Kyu - Orange 5th Kyu - Blue 4th Kyu - Green 3rd Kyu - Brown 2nd Kyu - Brown with one black tag 1st Kyu - Brown with 2 black tags All Dan grades - Black For the lower grades it is possible to go up in half grades (if grading isn't so good) or one and a half grades (if grading is top notch!) shown by tags e.g. yellow with orange tag. Grading occurs usually only once per year, mainly due to being a university club (those students get far too much holiday!!!) and also as there is a lot of stuff to learn for each grade (what is the opposite of a McDojo???) Cross your fingers for me; our grading is this week. I'm going for 5th Kyu
