There's an orange belt and another color, I forgot what it was
Is this school connected to an ITA Taekwondo school?

Brown to black is the longest time between promotions at my school. I watched people go from white to purple in the time I had my brown.What I don't get is, white to blue is usually the shortest time for a promotion (maybe brown to black can be shorter). Why would there be a need to put another belt in between?

Yeah, this seems to depend on the school. My previous instructor was a brown for several years. At the current place where I train (Gracie Barra), blue belt is definitely the belt that takes the longest to get promoted from. They say you gotta wait 5 months between stripes for a blue belt, while at purple and brown it's 3-4 months.

Okay....so I got the details between White and Blue there are 3 belts, Yellow Orange and Green. I've done some looking around and cannot find any other gyms that do this for adults. Does anyone's gym have this system?
all schools that I've ever been to that have a kids program have yellow, orange and green belts but as someone stated before a lot of schools use the green belt inbetween white and blue.
For what it's worth when I open my school I'll have the green in between white and blue
not trying to hijack the thread... but, may I ask why?
I'm also curious. Is it to keep people motivated and student retention higher?
