What is Taekwondo

Tae Kwon Do is the Korean form of unarmed self-defense. Tae means to use the foot to Kick, Kwon means fist and Do translate to way, art or method. Tae Kwon Do employs 17 different forms of attacks to 54 vulnerable parts of the body, and could be quite lethal to an attacker. Tae Kwon Do is a form of unarmed defense involving the skilled application of punches, blocks, dodges, interceptions, open hand strikes, punches and kicks to incapacitate or neutralize an attacker. Despite the fact that Tae Kwon Do could be lethal TKD ethics demand that a student have restraint and exercise self-control.

In the Republic of South Korea Tae Kwon Do represents more than a form of self-defense, it is a philosophy and way of life. Tae Kwon Do is the National Sport of Korea, and it is practiced in primary and secondary schools.

The Meaning of Tae Kwon Do Belt Colors

White represents innocence, beginning for a student with no experience in Tae Kwon Do.

Yellow Signifies the Earth from which a plant sprouts and takes root, analogous to a student as the Tae Kwon Do foundation is being laid.

Green is symbolic of a plant’s (student’s) growth as their Tae Kwon Do skills begin to develop.

Blue Represent the Heavens toward which the plant matures into a towering tree, like the growing student as he/she trains and progresses in Tae Kwon Do.

Red Represents danger, cautioning the student to exercise control while also warning the opponent to stay away.

Black the opposite of white; it represents maturity and proficiency in Tae Kwon Do. Black also indicates the student’s imperviousness to the darkness of fear.

The above colors have not been arbitrarily chosen. They are in fact steeped in tradition. The colors of black, red and blue denote the various levels of hierarchy during the Silla dynasty.
