Belts and their Meaning

Here is useful basic information about the meanings behind the coloured belts. To remember these could make the difference between passing or failing a grading... or getting push-ups in class. Argh! Those soon help you remember!

	White Signifies the innocence of the beginner student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-Do (10th - 9th Kup)
	Yellow Signifies the seed in the earth from which the plant sprouts and takes root as the foundations of Taekwon-Do are laid (8th - 7th Kup)
	Green Signifies the plants growth as skills in Taekwon-Do begin to develop (6th - 5th Kup)
	Blue Signifies the Heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Taekwon-Do progresses (4th - 3rd Kup)
	Red Signifies Danger, cautioning the student to exercise control, and warning the opponent to beware (2nd - 1st Kup)
	Black Opposite of White, therefore signifying the maturity and proficiency in Taekwon-Do and symbolising the wearer's imperviousness to fear
