What is the belt ranking system in your school? What belt are you? And how many years have you been training?

hello nicci;

 

with all the different schools and styles of taekwondo this is a very good question. as you can see above i have included the belt system i am used to in my studies of taekwondo.

Well, muggins here (ie. me) has a system like this in the club I train at:

 

White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown, Black

 

Between each belt we have a "tab" of the next one, such a Yellow with Green tabs, except with White and Yellow there is no tab. I am only a Yellow Belt and have been studying for 4-5 months.

Whe I stared Tang Soo do, the belt ranks were: White, yellow, Green Red Black.

 

In Tae Kwon Do..they were White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red Black.

 

When I created Tae Su Jutsu, I went back to the White, yellow, Green, Red, Black.

 

No stripes..

 

Peace,

 

Tae

I havn't done TKD for a while but when I was taking it the ranks my school used were whight yellow orange green blue red brown and black with stripes included after green.

[iamrushman]

interesting to see a lot of schools still use the brown belt...i guess tradition is not lost after all.

 

 

 

humble respects with a bow

Hi Rush,

 

That "tradition" was put in there to seperate Tae Kwon Do from Tang Soo do.

 

At least that is what my TKD instructor told me. Of course that was about....well, let's forget how long ago that was. LOL

 

Still love ya.

 

Peace,
