    ATA SONGAHM TAEKWONDO BELTS (RANKS)

    WHITE BELT "Pure and without the knowledge of


    Songahm Taekwondo. As with the Pine
    Tree, the seed must now be planted and
    nourished to develop strong roots." The
    student has no knowledge of Songahm
    Taekwondo and begins with a clean
    (pure) slate. Purity is often signified by
    the color white.

    ORANGE BELT "The sun is beginning to rise. As with


    the morning's dawn, only the beauty of
    the sunrise is seen rather than the
    immense power." The beginner student
    sees the beauty of the art of
    Taekwondo but has not yet experienced
    the power of the technique. Orange is
    found among the many colors of the
    sunrise.
    YELLOW BELT "The seed is beginning to see the
    sunlight." The student begins to
    understand the basics of Taekwondo.
    The sun appears to be yellow.

    CAMOUFLAGE "The sapling is hidden amongst the


    (CAMO) BELT taller pines and must now fight its way
    upward." The student begins to realize
    his/her place in the world's largest
    martial art. The student must now
    begin to spar in order to promote in
    rank. Camouflage (greens) is used to
    hide among the trees in the forest.

    GREEN BELT "The pine tree is beginning to develop


    and grow in strength." The student's
    technique is developing power. The
    components of the basic techniques are
    beginning to work in unison. As the
    pine tree develops, it sprouts green
    pine needles.

    PURPLE BELT "Coming to the mountain. The tree is in


    the mid-growth and now the path
    becomes steep." The student has
    crossed over over into a higher level of
    SOngahm Taekwondo. The techniques,
    poom-sae (forms), and level of gyeo-
    roo-gi (sparring) becomes more
    difficult, creating a "mountain" that
    must be overcome. Mountains are often
    depicted as being purple.
    BLUE BELT "The tree reaches for the sky toward
    new heights." Having passed the mid-
    way point, the student focuses his/her
    energy upward toward black belt. The
    sky appears as blue.

    BROWN BELT "The tree is firmly rooted in the earth."


    At this point the student has mastered
    the basics and developed deep roots in
    Taekwondo. Brown is known as an
    earthy color, such as dirt.

    RED BELT "The sun is setting. The first phase of


    growth has been accomplished." The
    first day (the period from white belt to
    red belt) of growth is coming to an end.
    The physical skill has been developed
    but lacks control; therefore, physical
    and mental discipline must now be
    achieved.

    RED/BLACK "The dawn of a new day. The sun


    BELT breaks through the darkness." The
    previous day has ended, giving way to
    a new dawn. The student must begin a
    new phase of training; that of being a
    black belt. The red is the sun (in a
    sunrise) as it breaks through the black
    of night.

    BLACK BELT "The tree has reached maturity and has


    overcome the darkness... it must now
    'plant seeds for the future.'" The color
    black is created when all the colors of
    the light spectrum have been absorbed
    into an object. That object has "taken
    control" of the colors and retained
    them. If one color was to "escape", the
    object would no longer be black but
    would appear as that color. The student
    has mastered the nine geup (grades) of
    Taekwondo. He/she has "absorbed" all
    the knowledge of the color ranks and
    overcome or "mastered" that level or
    training. The colors of the spectrum are
    bound together and are not reflected
    off an object, resulting in the absence
    of color which we call black.
