Understanding Taekwondo Belts

A Guide to Progression and Mastery:

• The belt system in Taekwondo represents how knowledgeable enough a practitioner has accumulated. Belt color usually transition from lightest to the darkest color when one is getting more experienced. A typical order is as follows, with a little variation among schools; White Belt: Starts with the innocence of beginning into the practice, Yellow Belt: The earth through which plant grows and takes roots while learning more about Taekwondo, Green Belt: The plant has now grown, the roots are strengthened, Blue Belt: The sky above the plant, expands the roots more into the knowledge, Red Belt: The most dangerous color belt, warns people and tells the student that they are ready, to exercise control to avoid hurting others.

The Origin of the Belt System:

• The belt system, which includes Taekwondo, originally began in Japan in the late 19 th century, when Judo was founded by Jigoro Kano. Kano began using the belt system to give students a verifiable way from beginner to expert and to offer the motivation to make it all the way through. The system then slowly spread to other martial arts as a way to symbolize the specialized subjects taught and learned in each art. It was not until Taekwondo embraced the system that it became standard practice to promote students based on their skill level rank, not based on the martial art’s specialty. From its origins in Japan to the more formalized belt color ranking system seen today, the belt color is a testament to Taekwondo’s enduring tradition and values.
