SIGNIFICANCE OF BELT COLOURS

There are six belt colours: white, yellow, green, blue, red and black; broken into 10 grades and 9 degrees. White is given to beginners and black is given to students who have progressed through the grades and have a solid foundation for learning the techniques of Taekwon-Do.

White - Signifies innocence, the beginner has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-Do.

Yellow - Signifies the earth from which a plant sprouts and takes root as the foundation of Taekwon-Do is being laid.

Green - Signifies the plant's growth as Taekwon-Do skills begin to develop.

Blue - Signifies the Heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Taekwon-Do progresses.

Red - Signifies Danger, cautioning the student to exercise control and warning the opponent to stay away.

Black is the opposite of white, and signifies the maturity and proficiency in Taekwon-Do.


 

 

HOW DO WE WEAR OUR BELT?

We tie our belt around once only to show that we pursue one goal.
