  • White signifies innocence, as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Tae-Kwon-Do.
  • Yellow signifies earth; from which a plant sprouts and takes root as the Tae-Kwon-Do foundation is being laid.
  • Green signifies the plants growth as Tae-Kwon-Do skills begin to develop.
  • Blue signifies the Heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Tae-Kwon-Do continues.
  • Brown represents the seasoned mature student. It pays recognition to other martial arts systems that the student should be incorporating into his/her Tae-Kwon-Do.
  • Red represents danger, cautioning the student to exercise self-control.  It is at this point the student must persevere and develop confidence in themselves to make their next progressive steps.
  • Black is the opposite of white, therefore, signifying maturity and proficiency in Tae-Kwon-Do. It also indicates the wearer's imperviousness to darkness and fear. It signifies "coming into the light". The student begins serious training.
