It will depend on the school or style of karate. In some styles, red belt is one of the levels on the way to black belt. In the Okinawan styles, a red belt indicates someone at the 9th or 10th Dan level, a Grandmaster.

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.

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.
