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 KanÅ JigorÅ, the Japanese founder of Judo. KanÅ 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:It depends on what school you go to, but most schools usually consist of a combination of the following belts: white, yellow, green, blue, red, purple, brown, and finally black. After black there are 10 degrees of black belts, but very few people in the world are 10th degree black belts. There are usually stripes in between each belt level.

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.
