Why is there a black edging on a Black Belt Dobok?

Answer 1

Stripes on belt mean different things at different schools. At my school, students earn a black stripe each week that they display a positive attitude at home. Theses stripes are stickers which are applied across the end of the belt. Students must earn seven stripes in twelve weeks in order to test at the end of each quarter.

I have seen other belts from other schools with a black stripe that runs all the way along the entire length of the belt. These are made of cloth and attached to the belt with stitching. These stripes indicate that the student has advanced half way towards the next belt. For example, a green belt with a black stripe would mean that the student was half way between a green belt and a blue belt. His rank is referred to as high green.

Answer 2

Please note this could vary based on Taekwondo orgnastion. It is representing a qualified instructor. One with a silver line running thur it represents a master instructor (6th Degree Black Belts and higher).

Answer 3

well many schools have different uniforms so it depends on the school. Like in my school haveing a black stripe down each sleeve shows you are a training instructor.
