Wow. Except for the white with black stripe, Karate has no "in between" colour belts. It is obviously true that the higher you go up in ranks, the harder the training gets. And with Judo, well, it probably is real hard to do. Is Judo entirely based upon throwing people on the mats and pinning them? Or do you have to do basics and kata-like things too?
