Advancing through the Ranks. For the first several years of training, the student progresses through the Gup, eight levels of rank symbolized by a system of colored belts. Eventually a student may reach the Dan, representing a mastery of the basic techniques of an art, symbolized by the black belt. This journey usually takes about four years, although it may take a little less or much more time depending on a combination of a student's natural abilities and diligence in training.

The Dan or
Black Belt

(1st Dan to 9 Degrees) It is at this point that a practitioner truly becomes part of the school, having earned the right through hard work to join the ranks of the leaders of the art. But while this may appear to the novice student to be the goal of training, the new black belt has learned enough to realize that this is really just the beginning of Tae Kwon Do training. Having gained a solid mastery of the basic techniques, the black belt must begin training again, relearning the art on a much deeper level. The practitioner begins to test and extend the limits of his or her body and to develop a deeper relationship with the techniques so that the distinction between mind, body, spirit, and motion begins to blur. Some black belts may start working with new students, beginning a new cycle of learning, and adding the next link to the chain of learning that has been growing for thousands of years.

The Five Tenets Of Tae Kwon Do

COURTESY (YE` UE): Always be kind and humble to others, to make them comfortable and pleased with you.

INTEGRITY (JUNG JIK): Always be honest and have a strong sense of right and wrong. The degree of wrong does not matter, wrong is wrong.

SELF-CONTROL (GUEK KEE): Always be in control of your emotions and your surroundings, true respect comes only from self-control.
