 Enter the OWASP Security Ninja program, a content and action based application security learning adventure using the latest advancements in the world of gamification to enhance the learner experience and keep them coming back. The project recognizes the learning and activity achievements of OWASP application security practitioners using a system of security belts. The OWASP security belts are white, yellow, green, brown, and black. Similar to belts in the world of martial arts, a student in our "virtual dojo" must train and test to earn a belt.
 * '''White Belt''' -- The journey begins with the student reviewing video learning modules and taking an assessment per module. When the learner achieves passing status on all the white belt modules, they earn the OWASP Security White Belt and are eligible to continue to Yellow Belt.
-* '''Yellow Belt''' -- focuses on applying the knowledge, and splits the content into builder and breaker specific roles.
+* '''Yellow Belt''' -- The yellow belt focuses on applying the security knowledge, and splits the content into builder and breaker specific roles, each with a separate set of learning modules to be completed.
 * '''Green, Brown, Black Belts''' -- After yellow, the student must put their new found knowledge into action by completing activities that improve some facet of application security. For each activity, the student earns points towards the next belt in the series (green, brown, and black). OWASP Security Black belt is the highest honor, and signifies that the student has become the teacher, and has taken a leadership stake in learning and doing application security.

 The world of application security has a gaping hole when it comes to interesting and engaging security learning. Builders, breakers, and defenders lack a solid foundation of application security knowledge and an appreciation for the evolving threat landscape. These same folks also lack experience with secure development practices and tools. Finally, they lack the motivation to volunteer to improve application security.

-Then the cycle begins again, with a refresh of OWASP White Belt.
+The challenge with security learning modules is that they become stale after roughly one year of release. The content refresh process ensures that once per year content is reviewed and select pieces of content are updated. At the conclusion of the green, brown, and black belt deployment, the project will begin an aggressive content refresh process.
