Not quite sure when. But the name Tae Kwon Do is Korean and means "Hand and Foot" simply meaning that it is an open hand fighting and does not originally use weapons.

What do the belts in Tae Kwon Do symbolize?

The belts in Tae Kwon Do symbolize ranking. For example, the lowest rank is a white belt. The way you move up in rank differentiates between Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, and other forms of martial arts. Specifically in Tae Kwon Doe, for each belt there is a certain number of "stripes" that you can earn. Once you earn those stripes by performing and memorizing different steps and moves in a certain sequence, then you may "test." At testing, you will perform a "form"- which is a certain sequence of special moves. If the instructor deems you ready to move on to the next belt, you will be rewarded with a belt higher.Here is the number, order and significance of each belt from taekwondo-network.com.http://www.taekwondo-network.com/tae-kwon-do-belt-system.htmlWhite Belt:The lack of color signifies purity and innocence.
