Selected Grading Questions
Belt Colours:
In Tae Kwon-Do there are six primary belt colours:
White Belt
Signifies innocence, as that of the beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Tae Kwon-Do.
Yellow Belt
Signifies earth, from which a plant sprouts and takes root as Tae Kwon-Do foundation is being laid.
Green Belt
Signifies the plant’s growth as Tae Kwon-Do skills begin to develop.
Blue Belt
Signifies the heaven, towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Tae Kwon-Do progresses.
Red Belt
Signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control, and warning the opponent to stay away.
Black Belt
Opposite to white, therefore signifying maturity and proficiency in Tae Kwon-Do. Black belt also indicates the wearer’s imperviousness to darkness and fear.
