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.
