Aodhan Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I just ordered a belt from Eosin-Panther. Just my name on one end & my style on the other (both in Korean). No stripes, or rank. I plan to wear it for a long time. Hopefully, my focus will always be on improving, not on my accomplishments. I want to do the same thing but my instructor insists on the belt he gave me......kind of overdone.......but he wrapped it around my waist so, that's the way it is.I have my original black belt in a case display. I got a new one that I've had for 3 years now. One side is my name, and in Korean on the other is my TKD philosphy: Grace, Power and Precision.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterH Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've been involved with TKD for quite a while now, my original BB is in a box. I think it was a size 3, I'm now a size 6. I have a total of 8 different black belts from 3 TKD orgs. I would like one generic black belt "Master Adam D. Huntley" on one side "Taekwondo" on ther other.

AdamFieldITFTKD Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 all colours of belts in TKD have meaningWhite - Innocence and no former knowledgeYellow - The roots of knowledge in the art growingGreen - The plant of knowledge growingBlue - The plant reached the skyRed - The participator must exercise caution Black - The participator is deadlyi believe that the true traning in TKD starts when you are a black belt as that is when you are mature and have the ability to perform but maybe the knowledge and philisophical areas are lacking in perfection A machine can do the work of 50 men, no machine can do the work of one extraordinary man though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I have been in two systems. I am a 2nd degree and certified instructor through the ATA. When I moved to go to college, I joined a different school and organization. The instructor made me start all over from white belt. I didn't complain about it though, because the forms and one-steps where different from my previous system. However, by recognizing my previous training, he allowed me to skip some ranks a few times. I got to 1st degree in his system in about a year.My motivation was that the belt I was wearing did not matter; I knew whay my capabilities were. I kind of have a mental perception of what "rank" I am.I see some of the students around me and say to myself "I've been there." Then I look at some other students and say "That's where I need to be." Even reaching 2nd degree in two different organizations, I realize that I still have a lot to learn. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
