The Meaning of the Green Belt (6th Kyu)
Karate . Training notes
Green is the color of life and growth. The green belt indicates the beginning of your life as a Martial Artist and growth as a person. We live in the present but for the future, and growth is necessary and essential to that journey. Growth stimulates change, which we must accept even though change often causes feelings of insecurity. Growth does not always come easily and is rarely without some discomfort or pain, but the achievements of our previous growth and the memory of those pains should motivate us to work harder. You begin with the Green belt so that you will always be reminded of the importance of this growth that will lead to the perfection of your Self.

Sensei:
It should make all your students and others understand that no matter what your rate, level, or station is in life, you should step back and put on the "green belt" from time-to-time"
I really like this explanation…life is about growth and moving towards ones goals. I have found that the times spent outside my comfort zone are those where the most growth occurs.
