Taekwondo (also known as Korean karate) does not have a uniform color order for student belts. Each school sets its own colors, color order and number of student grades; however, they are all based on the system developed by Kanō Jigorō, the Japanese founder of Judo. Kanō introduced Judo to Japan at the turn of the 20th century. 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.

Examples:
  • (13) white, (12) yellow, (11) yellow-white, (10) green, (9) green-white, (8) blue, (7) blue-white, (6) red, (5) red-white, (4) red-black, (3) brown, (2) brown-white, (1) brown-black, (1) black

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.
