Jkiss GoComics PRO Member said, 2 days ago@neverenoughgoldJust curious if she is a 3rd degree Black Belt or 3rd degree red? I’m a 1st degree red going for my Black Belt on the 19th of this month..She is 3rd degree black. She is also certified as an instructor. I would need to confirm this with my daughter; but I believe the belt colors are as follows:White:
The lack of color signifies purity and innocence. The novice has no knowledge of tae kwon do.
Yellow:
The color of the rising sun. Seeds in the ground begin to germinate and grow. Basic tae kwon do techniques begin to be learned.
Orange:
The sun deepens in color and rises higher in the sky. It gives energy to new growth. Techniques start to take form.
Green:
The color of growing things that all can see. Power begins to develop.
Blue / Purple:
The color of the sky which growing things reach for. Physical and mental power starts to stabilize.
Brown:
The color of the ground where growing things are rooted firmly. Stability of physical and mental power is apparent.
Red / Bodan:
The color of blood, the essential life force. Maturity, honor and respect are exhibited as character begins to perfect.
Black:
Black is the combination of all color. The final stage where technique is mastered within the humble and serene beauty of the plant.
Some colored belts are solid and some have a stripe of another color down the center. These differences are merely variations of school and/or style preference.
As far as I can recall, once you achieve 1st degree black the belt remains the same. There are also variations depending upon the school.
I don’t believe anyone currently holds a rank above 9th degree…
