st 1 DEGREE BLACK BELT CURRICULUM

The material in this guide is designed to supplement classroom training.

Students should warm up properly before practicing. Techniques that require a partner should be executed with no contact unless supervised by an instructor.

1st DEGREE BLACK BELT TO YELLOW TIP

The Black Belt is the highest color belt in TaeKwonDo. Black symbolizes the combination of all colors of the universe, which we see as black. From black all colors originate and spring up to create the lively rainbow. The Black Belt is the beginning of true achievement, understanding and wisdom, blending the mind and the body into one, into a unity within oneself and the universe.
