Can anyone explain to me how the Martial arts belts system works out?
Different martial arts have different grading systems. In Tae Kwon-do it works like this: WHITE White signifies a stage of innocence such as that of the novice student with no prior knowledge of Tae Kwon-do. YELLOW Yellow signifies the earth from which a plant sprouts and takes root as the Tae Kwon-do Foundation is being laid. GREEN Green signifies the plants growth as the Tae Kwon-do seed begins to develop, so the student’s skill develops. BLUE Blue signifies the Heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as the training in Tae Kwon-do progresses. RED Red signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise self control, and warning the opponent to stay away. BLACK Black is the opposite of white, signifying both maturity and proficiency in Tae Kwon-do. It also symbolises the wearer’s imperviousness to darkness and fear. Hope this helps.
