The Meaning of the Belt Colors

The belt colors are by no means merely some random selection of colors. Each belt color has a special meaning symbolizing advancement and increased awareness.

The color belt system is not just a representation of rank advancement, it is also an acknowledgement that signifies not only growth within the Do Jang, but that of positive character and growth outside of the Do Jang.
