I am about to start out in tae kwon do, so i was looking at some uniforms online. I was wondering are you required to wear the unifroms provided by the dojang. What is the difference between a white, black or colored v-neck? Do they symbolize anything? What about the stripes, aren't they for a grand master or something? Black or White Uniform? the rules about patches? any information you can provide me with would be good. Oh yeah and whta about shoes, whats the deal with them? Thanks.
