SoulAssassin Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I hear every school has there own system of belts and we all know certain belt colors mean you are a 'certain rank'. I talked to a friend and his belt system was different then mine and he also studied Tang Soo Do.. My School: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, Red, Brown, Black Every belt needed to have 3 stripes to progress. Friends school: White, Yellow, Green, Purple, Blue, Brown, Red, Black Only certain belts needed certain amount of stripes to progress. This doesnt seem right to me. Anyone know if there is a set system? -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 When I did Tang Soo Do, the ranks went like this: white yellow (for kids .... adults skipped this one) orange green blue (where I stopped) brown purple red midnight blue black It's not really weird. It's depends on the instructor or system. There are several styles of TSD. Most of them are the same, but a few are different. The style can be the same, but the belt ranking can be different. So there's many factors on how each instructor "ranks" his/her students. P.S. I'm moving this to Korean arts. This is more of a Korean arts question than a general question.

Wow thats a lot of ranks!!!!! I don't agree with Red belts, but a midnight blue belt is pretty cool, some use it as a black belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Yea, some TSD dojangs use the midnight blue as black belt. They don't even wear black belts. They say if they wore a black belt, it was like "the end" of learning. Which it isn't. But they decided on the midnight blue instead. Yea, we had 10 gup ranks. I made it to 5th gup. I wish I stayed, actually I loved it. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
