The difference between a poom grade and a dan grade is not skill but age. Eastern philosophy places a great deal of importance and value on the experience of age. A second degree poom and a second degree dan may posses the same skills, but the dan is an adult and the poom is a child, and that makes a difference and that difference is emphasized in their rank.

Poom ranks can be converted to dan ranks when the person is past 15 years of age.
