For those who are questioning about the belt colors for the Martial Arts skill, your questions have been answered in the following PR email I received from EA!  Below is the fact sheet on the China destination (don’t forget to check out the two new images in the post below!)

LEARN HOW TO MASTER KUNG FU FIGHTING IN SHANG SIMLA, CHINA

For the first time ever, Sims can now spar and master Martial Arts when they travel to Shang Simla, China! We’ve offered some tips below to help you on your path to Kung fu greatness.

TRAIN – The Phoenix Academy of Martial Arts in Shang Simla, China is the best place to begin the path of the righteous. However, those who wish to train outside of China may purchase the Training Dummy, Board Breaker, and books to take home. Only after much practice with the training dummies, and the breaking of many boards will your Sim be on the path to righteous victory! To truly master the discipline of Martial Arts in The Sims 3 World Adventures, your Sim must defeat several worthy opponents in the Grand Tournament of China.

PRACTICE – Martial Artists love to spar and hone their skills in friendly combat. As a reward, Martial Artists receive new training outfits with colorful belts to denote their skill and aptitude in the craft. Sparring is a great way to develop your Sims skills, build friendships, and show off cool new belts obtained as reward!

CENTER – Meditation is key to obtaining focus and mental peace of mind. A powerful fist is nothing without a stronger mind. Focused Martial Artists are able to teleport, making them incredibly powerful.

MASTER – Master Martial Artists are so powerful they can summon the magical elements from nature itself to aid them in their battles against evil!

TEACH – Top Level Martial Artists may train others, further strengthening the ranks of disciplined martial artists throughout the world.
