Belt Colors
As a student advances in Taekwondo, their increased knowledge and ability is symbolized by the darkness of the colors in their belts. However, more than just a representation of rank advancement, the color belt system also acknowledges individual personal growth. Personal growth that is visible both inside and outside of the dojang(Dojo). There are some school who can have some extra belt other than the ones cited below but these are the standard ones as far as I know and each of them has grade as for example green 1 or green 2. Following is a list of belt colors and their meanings.
White Belt
White Belt represents purity. White signifies innocence, as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwondo. It represents a clean slate, and the beginning of a journey in Taekwondo.
Yellow Belt
Yellow Belt represents Energy. Yellow signifies the earth, from
which the plant sprouts and takes root as the Taekwondo foundation is
being laid. It is also color of sunshine. It's associated with joy,
happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow produces a warming effect,
arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle
energy.
Green Belt
Green Belt is the color of growth. The growth of power in specific green signifies the plant’s growth as Taekwondo skills are developing.
Blue Belt
Blue Belt represents the sky and continued upward attainment. Blue signifies the heavens, toward which the plant develops into a towering tree as the Taekwondo training progresses.
Red Belt
Red Belt is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense color. Just as stoplights, fire equipment and other highly visible items are painted in red, red in Taekwondo training should start showing the techniques and advanced skills which appeal to yourself and others.
Black Belt
Black Belt is the color of light-darkness and responsibility....please tell us more..what does your black belt mean. From this belt this is where black belt holders start their real adventure in the art start from 1st dan up to 10th dan
