technically the brown belt is suppose to win because it's either the 2nd or 3rd highest from black belt
however some styles dont even have a brown belt
this all really depends on the person though
example, what if there was already an advance student joining a new class, heck he is a white belt, but dont forget he has previous experience in other martial arts, possibly a master in one of them
and he fights against someone who is a higher ranking belt
depending on this person also, if he has previous experience

unless u're talking about two people who only have took martial arts from the same class, but one started sooner than the other, and is higher ranking, yea the brown belt wins

yea thats true bushido, they can't do sh!t all, now if you got some joes to pick up the yellow and brown belts, then they could whip each other with them. SO I guess that the Yellow belt win win against the Brown belt because the brown belt would have trouble seeing the yellow belt in the light because of its color. But mostly belts, no matter what their colour are made from similar fibres and would prolly be about the same as far as strenth is concerned.

But anything is possible, may the best belt win

A green belt from our school had no one in his division to fight at a tournament. So they let him enter the Black Belt division for exhibition matches. His first opponent didn't know what hit him. They guy started screaming about false belt ranks, and steroids. The truth was that his McDojo's curriculum sucked. So it's up in the air. Training under similar conditions, a brown belt should be able to handle a yellow belt. But there are always those shining stars you need to look out for.

And if you mean an out of the school fight, who knows? Too many variables.

If the yellow belt has alot of natural athleticism and the brown belt does not have natural athleticism then the yellow belt has a chance to win.

Belt rank may perhaps be an advantage but no power on earth can ever turn it into an absolute advantage.

Well, there's an expression in Football, "Any Given Sunday," which basically means there's always a chance for an upset, but generally, the brown belt will beat the yellow belt.

that is like asking,

If a train was heading from chicago at x miles per hour, and a train was heading from new york at y miles per hour both headed towards different destinations (without mentioning the destinations), which will get there first.

There are many many aspects to training and physical (unarmed) fighting.

The first and foremost bieng thier respective physical abilities and size. If you are talking two respectively similar people (no bobb sapp vs. pee wee hermans), then it comes down to the quality of thier training.

There are tons of black belts out there who can't defend themselves against a rambunctious old geezer with a cane. Then there are those that can take out much bigger stronger fighters that have some fighting background.

except in bjj, belt-rank is pretty much meaningless. In bjj they base it on performance, not how many katas you can do.

Personally I think more arts should be like boxing, and not have any "belts" "sashes", "colored armbands", etc.

there are two sides to the story, but in my opinion, i think belts take the emphasis on "what do I need to do to become x belt" rather than "what do I need to do to improve my fighting ability"?

With belts and the emphasis placed on them, many teachers and gyms tend to "rush" students through- promoting them a few times a year (tkd schools are known for this) as they want the school to look better because it has more black belts. But in reality if the school was attacked by a cheesy street gang from an 80's movie like The Warriors, they would be slaugtered.

A brown belt is supposed to know more. But the truth of it is that the belt color doesn't make the difference, its all in the person.

As a white belt I sparred with many a black and brown belt who knew all the moves... and I still would have been beaten them to a pulp in an actual fight. Even in judged (light contact) sparring I won about half the time.

But then again... there were several other Brown and Black belts that I would not want to go toe to toe against.

brown belt for sure... but if the yellow belt was a steroid addict and the brown belt was a crack smoker who couldn't tell between his right and life, then i would go with the yellow belt.

I'm sorry but this is a dumb question. First, you didn't specify a martial art. Different martial arts rank belts differently. Second, the color of your belt doesn't determine how good a fighter you are, it merely shows that you met the requirements to get a belt and chose to get that belt.

I made a choice not to seek belts when learning martial arts because I did not want to be legally documented as being a martial artist. My reason is that I don't want to be considered a deadly weapon when using martial arts for self defense.

That being said I've beaten a black belt in tae kwon do and held my own against a black belt in karate. All this with no belt whatsoever. A friend of mine who is a black belt in tae kwon do and hapkido however, completely shut me down.
