Tang Soo Do
Belt Ranking System
The color system for
belt ranks may vary among different Tang Soo Do schools and
organizations, but there are typically 10 Gup levels and 10 Dan levels.
The Dan level is what is generally known
as Black Belt, although in
traditional Tang Soo Do we use the color Midnight Blue instead. The
philosophy behind this is that since belt colors get darker with time
and experience, we will always have more to learn, and so our belt can
get darker.
In the martial arts, the
Black Belt level is not an end in itself, but a place where the next
level of
learning begins.
