	Black belt (martial arts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fl belt was "invented" by Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, who first devised the colored belt system using obis, and awarded the first fl belts in the 1880s.
		Many modern martial artists, however, mistakenly believe that the belt ranking system is an ancient aspect of traditional martial arts (Koryu instructors in fact tended to provide certain certificates to advanced students, as proof of their authorization to teach the art).
		In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the 9th degree, the fl belt is replaced by an alternately red and fl belt.
