Best Answer

The Red Belt in Korean Taekwondo is typically used to represent a high color belt level, usually around the 3rd, 2nd, or 1st geup (grade), which is right below the rank of Black Belt. At this rank, the student should be fairly proficient at the basics, and preparing to take the test for IL Dan (1st Degree) Black Belt.

This senior ranked student should be regularly active in training, and act as a responsible class leader, as well as displaying the proper attitude, manners, and honorable moral behavior inside the dojang as well as outside.

Some Instructors and organizations will assign a philosophical meaning to the color red as appropriate to the stage of the students training, such as red representing an element of danger where a student has good knowledge and skill, but lacking in a fully matured level of discipline and control expected at the Black Belt rank. The color red can also represent fire, which is an element in nature that can be either beneficial or destructive, depending on its use. Fire consumes fuel and then burns out. A high rank student must take care not to get 'burned-out' from the many hours of repetition and review required to advance to the next level.

Fire also represents energy, which is a desirable characteristic of a high ranked student to become energized and re-focused on the goal of attaining the Black Belt rank.

Red and white belt stands for what rank?

No, in taekwondo, the red belt is not the same rank as a black belt. Depending on your school, it is either one or two steps below the black belt. Some schools use a belt that is half red and half black to designate a black belt who is under age. This is called a poom.In taekwondo, the red belt is commonly associated with the 2nd grade, that is, the level just before black belt. All taekwondo schools have their own colored belt systems, so some schools might use a brown belt instead of a red belt. Some schools might use both a brown belt and a red belt.This differs from the use of the red belt in karate. In karate, the red belt represents the tenth degree black belt.


How many people holds a red belt in karate?

A YMCA is not a Taekwondo Association, but a location where Taekwondo may be taught. These classes are done outside the realm of an official Taekwondo dojang (school), yet should be connected to a central authority and governing body through a well established chain of command. The person teaching Taekwondo at a YMCA might be qualified and certified as a Black Belt and/or Taekwondo Instructor, or they might not be. Any rules pertaining to stripes on a belt would be at the discretion of that Instructor, and the affiliated Taekwondo organization (if any). Each Taekwondo school and association has different rules and procedures pertaining to belt color, order, and stripes, so it would be best to ask your own instructor. While you are at it, check their credentials to verify legitimacy with the backing of an established Taekwondo Federation.
