This depends on the style of karate, but usually the test for yellow belt includes some combination of demonstrating single-step basics (blocks, punches, kicks), one or two basic kata, and some kind of basic board breaking.

They don't ask questions but ask you to show your skills in kicks, punches, blocks, etc. You are also marked for fights and kata. Some schools also ask general questions regarding karate. But its weightage is very low. Question can be like "who founded the style you are practicing".

Best advice is to ask your instructor. The are various forms of Taekwondo (WTF, ATA, etc.) and the requirements for each vary. Even in the same belt level in the same style, requirements could vary from school to school. Your instructor should be able to tell you what is expected of you. Practice it and do your best! Good luck!!

The initial goal of training in Taekwondo for both the student and the teacher should be to become proficient at the basics, which when accomplished is acknowledged by awarding the first level of the Black Belt, or 1st Dan. The color belts are "interim goals" - gradual or graded steps along the path to reaching the Black Belt. Each grade is represented in the classroom by the color of belt worn by the student. The order of colors, and the number of colors used in each Taekwondo school or organization might vary.

The exact requirements to reach each color, such as the yellow belt, are not standardized world wide, and often up to the Sr. Instructor, or Master of the dojang. To know what you are required to demonstrate at a test in order to be promoted to yellow belt, the student should ask their own teacher, or consult the guidelines set forth by their school or association (perhaps written in a student guide book or training manual).

In most cases, a beginner student is promoted to the yellow belt after being introduced to basic classroom procedures and commands, learning one or more basic stances, a few basic blocks, punching and around three to five basic kicks. They might be required to memorize a pattern of prearranged movements in a "form" (tul, hyeong, or jang in a series of Poomsae) which simulate a street fight using imaginary opponents for practice.

The beginner might engage in a controlled one-step sparring practice with a partner, and some light free-sparring. They might also be asked to break a board, but that is rarely a requirement or major part of scoring at an early belt level. Some questions of knowledge and classroom terminology might be required as well. All of these things should be taught to the student over a period of one to three months of training, and explained by the instructor so that there is no uncertainty as to what is needed to advance in rank.

The requirements vary from style to style and school to school. Your instructor should be able to tell you what they need to see from you in order to get promoted. And usually they have provided a handbook or listing of the requirements. Some places even have them posted on the walls of the dojo.

Depends what style you do. In some styles it is a kyu rank on the way to black belt. In others it is 9th or 10th degree black belt.

That will depend on you school. Purple belt means different things in different schools, so the requirements vary. Your instructor will be able to answer your question.

What is the meaning of the yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do?

The meaning of each belt color, and/or geup (grade) equivalent will vary slightly from school to school, and between major organizations. The belt colors are merely visible indications of the students grade level, and progress toward the Black Belt. The colors may differ between schools, but typically begin with the white belt, and become darker in color with each increment closer to the Black Belt. In general terms, the yellow belt is a beginner rank, usually the first level of promotion.A student of Taekwondo usually wears the white belt upon joining a Taekwondo school, and is not required to pass any test to do so. The first test is designed to determine if the student understands the introductory information of classroom procedures, customs and courtesies of Taekwondo, as well as the basic stances, blocks, punches, and a few kicks. This first level of promotion is often given a high number such as 9th or 8th grade- marked by a yellow belt, and the subsequent promotions go down in number as the student goes up in rank until reaching the highest color belt level of Il geup, or 1st grade.Sometimes, a philosophical significance is given to the color of the belts to reflect some sort of common experience in nature that would compare to the growth and development of the student along the way. The White Belt is usually compared with the purity of snow, and an innocence or lack of knowledge about Taekwondo. The Yellow Belt is then likened to the seed that rests in the ground deep beneath the snow, and begins to sprout and grow to the surface in the spring. This is the initial phase of the student who has just been awakened to the world of Taekwondo, and is beginning to embark on their journey. They are just starting to grow as a Martial Artist.Specific wording of the "meaning" of the yellow belt might vary within each school, and it might also be important for the student to grasp the concept well enough to describe the significance of the belts as well as memorizing an official quote offered by the instructor.The yellow belt represent a students progress toward black belt. It represents a certain level of skill or a certain set of skills. Each school sets its own curriculum, so two students from different school with a yellow belt might not know all the same kicks, blocks or forms.Poetically, the yellow belt represents the earth from which taekwondo skills sprout and takes root.Belt colors and stripes use on the belts have various meanings assigned by the Sabeom (School Master) of a Dojang (school), or the Kwanjang (Grandmaster - director or founder of an Taekwondo organization). The system of numbering geup (grades) from either 10th or 9th up to 1st grade, and Dan (Black Belt Degree) from 1st to 9th or 10th Degree is fairly standard in taekwondo throughout the world, however the specific colors and stripes used are not as widely standardized. It is best to ask the instructor who issues these particular belts. The color yellow is commonly used as the 2nd belt of a 9 grade system of geup (color belts) before reaching the 1st Degree Black Belt. In most cases, a brand new student wears a dobok (training uniform) with a white Di (belt), and the only requirement for this belt is to make the decision and commitment to start taekwondo training. The yellow belt then represents the first promotion, after having learned the very basic information of classroom procedures, customs, courtesies, and rudimentary skills. When assigned a philosophical analogy, the white belt is sometimes said to represent innocence, or the purity of snow, having no knowledge of Taekwondo. The yellow is the seed that rests beneath the snow in the winter, and once the snow melts in the spring, the seed begins to grow toward the surface.

How many people holds a red belt in karate?

A YMCA is not a Taekwondo Association, but a location where Taekwondo may be taught. These classes are done outside the realm of an official Taekwondo dojang (school), yet should be connected to a central authority and governing body through a well established chain of command. The person teaching Taekwondo at a YMCA might be qualified and certified as a Black Belt and/or Taekwondo Instructor, or they might not be. Any rules pertaining to stripes on a belt would be at the discretion of that Instructor, and the affiliated Taekwondo organization (if any). Each Taekwondo school and association has different rules and procedures pertaining to belt color, order, and stripes, so it would be best to ask your own instructor. While you are at it, check their credentials to verify legitimacy with the backing of an established Taekwondo Federation.
