So many ranks nowadays! It was originally white --> green --> red --> midnight blue. Then Hwang Kee added orange; other studios added other colors and stripes and stickers and polka dots, LOL.

When I was ranking up as a kid, it was already pretty busy:

white --> purple --> orange --> blue (add one stripe) --> green (add two stripes) --> red (add two stripes) --> black.

I learned in a Norris studio, which is "American TSD" not traditional Moo Duk Kwan TSD (now Soo Bahk Do). And of course nowadays, Norris' style is Chun Kuk Do and integrates all sorts of grappling and stuff... how things change.

Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time and take a class from Hwang Kee at the original Moo Duk Kwan just to see what it would be like. =)
