In Taekwondo, belts of rank are awarded to students by their teachers. This practice began early in the 20th century when Kanō Jigorō introduced Judo to Japan.

Originally, there were six student grades referred to by number. A student would begin at Grade 6 and work up to Grade 1, and then they would graduate to black belt. The black belts were divided into 9 ranks. A student would begin at Rank 1 and work up to Rank 9. Black belt ranks have been standardized, but student grades have not.
