Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-Do

Belt Colors

There are six specific belt colors in the martial art of Taekwon-Do: white, yellow, green, blue, red, and black.  The student begins studying Taekwon-Do as a White Belt and progresses to achieve a Black Belt when he/she has established a solid foundation for learning the techniques of Taekwon-Do.
 
 
The significance of each color of belt are as follows:
