Belt Colours

Like most martial arts, Taekwon-Do incorporates a grading system of coloured belts to symbolise the standard to which that student has achieved.

	White Belt	10th Kup	White signifies innocence, as that of the beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-do.
	Yellow Tag	9th Kup
	Yellow Belt	8th Kup	Yellow signifies Earth, from which a plant sprouts and takes root as the Taekwon-do foundation is being laid.
	Green Tag	7th Kup
	Green Belt	6th Kup	Green signifies the plant's growth as Taekwon-do skills begin to develop.
	Blue Tag	5th Kup
	Blue Belt	4th Kup	Blue signifies the Heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Taekwon-do progresses.
	Red Tag	3rd Kup
	Red Belt	2nd Kup	Red signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control, and warning the opponent to stay away.
	Black Tag	1st Kup
	Black Belt	1st Dan - 9th Dan	Black is opposite to white, therefore, signifying the maturity and proficiency in Taekwon-do. Also indicates the wearers imperviousness to darkness and fear.

We usually have an optional grading at the end of every term.
