sdallas00 Posted August 17, 2001 Posted August 17, 2001 Why are there so many differences in belt colors among schools that teach TKD? The classes I attend at a county recreation department use white, white/yellow, white/green, white/black, yellow, green, blue, brown, red, and black. Have a great day! Steve DallasHave a great day!
iamrushman Posted August 17, 2001 Posted August 17, 2001 welcome to this forum SDALLAS00...nice to have you here. it seems, as you can see here in this thread, that with the many different organizations, styles, and schools or clubs involved with tkd many different catagories have been derived. as with your discription, with the 3 levels of white belt, it has become very innovative and interesting not to mention colorful. rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson

TKD_McGee Posted December 14, 2001 Posted December 14, 2001 If your school is a member of the WTF the ranks go by stripes... White - White/Yellow - Yellow - Yellow/green and so on... While ITF schools tend to go by fancy colors like.. White - Yellow - Orange - Green - Purple and so on... And if you go to a Billybob school they just make up belts and make you pay for them... ie, Camo Belts! Do unto others, as they done to you.
three60roundhouse Posted January 11, 2002 Posted January 11, 2002 Since my instructor started training at a young age, he wants to be able to offer that back to his students and has therefore adopted a system with many belts and tests jsut so kids feel like they are constantly moving up. It takes around 3 months to test for each level, so like 4-5 years for black belt. White (you get three electic tape stripes on it before moving up) High white Yellow High Yellow Orange High Orange Blue High Blue Green High Green Red High Red Brown High Brown Black(if you are under 15 you get a junior black - half red half black - my instructor doesn't believe in giving young children the burden and responsibility in being a black belt...but jbb's learn and train with black belts...i think it's weird but wehatever ) I have been training for three years. I train with my three younger brothers (They have about three and a half years) and we aere all high green belts, soon to be red I think. It'll probably take around a year and a half to two years more bvecasue you have high brown for a long time ) 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
jakmak52 Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 White, Gold, Green,Blue, Red, Brown, and Black. I'm a very dirty Brown belt. I know, I know, I should be a Black Belt by now, but after blowing out my meniscus (doing kata no less), having my DoJo close, then having two Titanium screws put into my right hand after a miscalculated board break, (lucky guy,huh), well, there you have it, I'm still going...with all your support that is Training since age 37 currently 49, you do the math... Maybe they'll have an Executive Men's Walker Division next year HooooHaww Best regards,Jack Makinson

Cory Reynolds Posted February 15, 2002 Posted February 15, 2002 white, yellow, orange, green, purple, blue, red, brown, brown-black stripe, black. I'm currently a first degree black belt training for 11 years, and I've had my black belt for five years. Wise man once said "he who has big mouth has much room for foot."
Deathcometh Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 my school went like white-yellow-orange-blue-red-black and i only got to blue before i had to move so i only got a little over half of the teaching.
Icetuete Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 didnt know that there are so many belt ranking systems around... mine is white, yellow, green, blue, red and black...! each with a tab of the next one in between.
