What are the colours in order in taekwondo?

plz i want to start at taekwondo and i need to know the colours|||Not all WTF schools follow the same color format. The real answer is the %26quot;Guep%26quot; or %26quot;Keup%26quot; system.





9th Guep - White


8th Guep - Yellow or white with a yellow stripe


7th Guep - Orange or Yellow with a black stripe


6th Guep - Green


5th Guep - Blue


4th Guep - Brown or Purple


3rd Guep - Brown or Brown with Red stripe or blacks stripe


2nd Guep - Red


1st Guep - Red or Red with a black stripe|||white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, red, brown, and black.





these are the primary colors. But some mcdojos add stripes and levels to charge you for extra test in between those ranks. Be wary of those type of establishments.|||in taekwando america it%26#039;s White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Brown, Red, and Black.

we just buy the initial blank coloured belt and affix white stripes when we achieve the next level. It seem to be a big money making game for all those other ones that have like 6-7 different coloured belts that you have to buy.|||I find it interesting that a supposed TKD instructor warns of Mcdojos, and then indicates that TKD has orange, purple and brown belts. Sounds like someone was trained in a Mcdojo.





Now, having said that, I will say this: Your belt colors will vary depending on your schools affiliation. ITF, WTF, ATA, UTFI, ATF, etc, have both varying colors and different numbers of colored grades. For Traditional TKD, your belt colrs are white, yellow, green, blue, red, and finally black. For each color belt, there are two levels; some call this high and low level, others do not. Once again, traditional TKD grades, or gups, start at 10 (white belt) and go to 1 (red belt, black tag/stripe). Black belt has 9 degrees, or Dan ranks, from 1 to 9, with the first three Dan ranks considered Novice ranks, the next three considered expert ranks, 7th and 8th Dan considered Master ranks, and 9th Dan considered Grand Master. This is the system of advancement and grade that General Choi put into place when he founded the art in 1955.





The belt colors are less significant than the emphasis put on what each rank is, how you get it, and how you advance. As a traditionalist, I disagree somewhat with deviation from the original (I have actually seen a system that has a camoflauge belt), but that does not necesarily diminsih the art form or the instructor. Their approach to training is what really matters.





If you want true Tae Kwon Do training, you need to look at your reasons: if you are looking for heavier emphasis on the sporting/sparring aspect, then you need to make sure that your school is WTF affiliated. The WTF is the international governing body for Olympic-style TKD, with headquarters in south Korea. If you are more traditionally oriented, and are looking to learn more self defense techniques, then make sure your school is ITF affiliated. ITf affiliated schools can be tricky; there is currently a major political battle going on between three organizations that claim true lineage to General Choi, although they philosphies and focus are the same.





Good Luck!!





Oh, and I would avoid instructors who speak ill of other styles and show disrespect to other instructors through generalization. People who tend to follow like sheep typically cannot lead well.|||ITF Taekwon-do if it%26#039;s the one you do are:





- white


- yellow


- green


- blue


- red


- black (1st Dan to 9th Dan)





Each belt is separated with the stripe of the next belt making thus 10 ranks or keup 旮?in korean.





So:





- white (10th keup)


- white stripe yellow (9th keup)


- yellow (8th keup)


- yellow strip green (7th keup)


- green (6th keup)


- green strip blue (5th keup)


- blue (4th keup)


- blue stripe red (3rd keup)


- red (2nd keup)


- red stripe black (1st keup)


- black|||In TKD there are 8 forms (in WTF), so it should be 8 belts. but most or all the schools have a ten belt system. You start from white, go to yellow, orange, purple, green, blue, red, red with black, brown, brown with black, then a black belt.





Although, there are other TKD schools who have red belts as the highest belt before black because the founder of TKD said the red belt meant danger. so this is why youll see the red belt as the highest belt before black. but other schools have brown or brown with black as the highest belt because the farther you get inot TKD, the less fear you have (supposeably). Since Black belt means you have no fear, are not afraid of darkness, then it makes sense that some schools really make it so that the belt colors go from light to dark.





Generally the belts that dont change are white, yellow, and red. If your going to start TKD, dont worry on how they do the belt ranking system. Make sure you go to a good school ( I highly recommend ITF or WTF, since these are international and highly recognized through out the world) Get a good instructor, take a free class, and feel comfortable in it. Also, really make sure you get a good instructor, since the quality of the art will depend greatly on who teaches it. And dont go to a place where they want to give you a contract for a year or so, because those are mcdojangs and they really suck, they dont make you earn your belt, they give it to you, and im sure you want to actually be good in TKD, not just look like you are.
