Guide
To Taekwondo Belt Colors
Martial Art Belts
The
belts and their colors
that are used with Taekwondo aren't just a random assortment of colors
that are used to separate the ranks in the martial art. In Taekwondo,
each belt color has a meaning that lets fighters known about their
advancement and increasing knowledge. Belts are also great for the
stylist, as they let the stylist know just how far they have progressed.
The
colors of the belts found in Taekwondo vary, as they represent the
advancement of rank, as well as the growth of the student. It can take
a long time for students to move up the ranks, all depending on their
knowledge and how quick they adapt to the techniques and forms of the
art.
Below,
are the colors and belts of Taekwondo, along with their meaning.
White belt
A
white belt is the symbol of birth, or the beginning for the stylist.
Students that wear white belts are just starting out, searching for the
knowledge to continue Taekwondo.
Yellow belt
A yellow belt is the first ray of light that shines on the student,
giving them new strength to the Taekwondo
martial art. Students that have yellow belts have taken a great step in
learning, and have opened their mind to new techniques.
Green
belt
A
green belt is the symbol of growth, or a seed as it sprouts from the
ground and begins to grow into a plant. Students with green belts are
continuing along the path of Taekwondo, learning to develop further and
redefine every technique they have been taught.
Blue belt
A
blue belt represents a blue sky, with the plant continuing to grow
upwards, heading for the sky. Students with blue belts continue to move
higher in ranks, as the plant continues to grow taller. Students at
this stage will also be given additional knowledge of Taekwondo so that
their mind and body can continue to grow and develop.
Red
belt
The
red belt is the heat of the sun, with the plant continuing the path
upwards toward the sun. Students that possess red belts are higher in
rank, as they have acquired a lot of the knowledge in the art of
Taekwondo. Red belts also tell the students to be cautious, as they
gain more knowledge and their physical techniques increase.
Black belt
A
black belt is the best
of the best. It symbolizes the darkness that is
out there beyond the light of the sun. Once the student is given a
black belt and begins to train other students, he will teach all that
has been taught to him. Black belts recognize the best students, as
they continue to teach others the art of Taekwondo, and continue the
never ending cycle of training.
