Belt
Colours |
|
There are six belt colours: white, yellow, green, blue, red and black. 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 Belt
|
Signifies innocence, as that of the beginning
student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-Do. |
Yellow Belt
|
Signifies the earth from which a plant sprouts and
takes root as the foundation of Taekwon-Do is being laid. |
Green Belt
|
Signifies the plant's growth as Taekwon-Do skills
begin to develop. |
Blue Belt
|
Signifies the Heaven towards which the plant matures
into a towering tree as training in Taekwon-Do progresses. |
Red Belt
|
Signifies Danger, cautioning the the student to exercise
control and warning the opponent to stay away. |
| Black Belt
|
Opposite of white, therefore signifying the maturity
and proficiency in Taekwon-Do, also indicates the wearer's imperviousness
to darkness and fear. |
